const in global

[xenovia12]

im doing my friend's project. and they should run it to dev c++

dev c++ complaint about initializing the variable in class.

is it alright to put the constant variables in global?

how bad is it?

AFAIK, the "dev c++" is a name for two or more IDE, which use different compilers for the actual work. You don't state which compiler you actually use, nor show the code that causes a problem. Hence we cannot advice on that yet.

If we could solve the actual problem, then we would not have to even consider any workarounds, whether they are virtuous or questionable.

@keskiverto im using dev c++ bloodshed

class foo {

private:
const double foobar = 10; // error in bloodshed

}

const double foobar = 10; 
class foo {


}

2nd snippet runs but my question is
is it alright to put the constant variables in global?

the "dev c++" is a name for two or more IDE

sorry i didnt realize it

You mean the one that has not been updated since 2005? I know no valid excuse to use that.
