Error: Assigning to an array from an initializer list

Question

I have a class such as:

class dialog
{
    public:
    double dReturnType[][5][3];
};

 

#include 
#incl         


        

Answer 1

Initializer lists are just usable during initialization.

If you want use std::initializer_list after initialization:

auto init = std::initializer_list<double>({1.2,2.3,6.6});
std::copy(init.begin(), init.end(), your_array);

Answer 2

You can't initialize a extended list unless you're on c++11.

And If I was you a good habit is to use * instead of empty "[]" and allocate memory when you know the size (with new or malloc). dReturn type on your program is a pointer of matices.

And you're giving a full list to only one member of the vector.

People.dReturnType[0]={1.2,2.3,6.6};

That makes more sense.

Try to encapsulate and use/create initializer functions that will help you to do that too. C++ will put all 0 at start, but you can do a function and call:

dialog People("the_atributes_are_here").

It's a good pratice to make the dReturnType private and use functions to acess it data and insert/modify things. But that is up to you.
