Array outside of class.

[alielsaadi]

(Line 60) I get an error telling me an array cannot be initialized without a parenthesized intializer. What am i doing wrong? can someone please help? Thanks

class movie {
private: string name;
private: string date;
private: string cost;
private: string gross;

		 //Takes name,date of release, production costs, and gross profit
public: movie(string d, string n, string c, string g)
{
	date = d;
	name = n;
	cost = c;
	gross = g;
}

public: string getName()
{
	return name;
}

public: string getDate()
{
	return date;
}

public: string getCost()
{
	return cost;
}

public: long convertGross()
{
	//converts gross profit to an integer so that it can be sorted correctly
	string temp;
	int i = 0;
	while (gross[i] != 0)
	{
		if (gross[i] != ',' && gross[i] != '$')
			temp += gross[i++];
		else
			i++;
	}
	const char * c = temp.c_str();
	long num = atol(c);
	return num;
}

public: string getGross()
{
	return gross;
}

		//Displays movie information to the user
public: void displayInfo()
{
	cout << "Date: " << date << " " << "Name: " << name << "Production Cost: " << cost << "Gross: " << gross << endl;
}
};

movie m[99] =  movie("", "", "", "") ;

What am i doing wrong?

That depends on what you're trying to do.

Line 60: You're trying to initialize an array of 99 objects of type "movie" by assigning it only a single "movie" object. You need an array on right hand side of the assignment operator.

// Initialize all elements of array `m´
movie m[99] =  { movie("", "", "", ""), movie("", "", "", ""), movie("", "", "", ""),  /* Repeat up too 99 times */};

or define a "movie" default constructor and define

// Initialize all elements of array `m´ with default values
movie m[99];
