type error in struct?

technologist (607)
Below I am getting the compiler error:

src\main.cpp:7:2: error: 'Card_Ranks' does not name a type
Card_Ranks rank;
^
..\src\main.cpp:8:2: error: 'Card_Suit' does not name a type
Card_Suit suit;

Thought Card_Ranks was a type for rank? How do I fix this?

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

struct Card_Deck
{
	Card_Ranks rank;
	Card_Suit suit;

};
	enum Card_Ranks
		{
			 One,
		     Two,
			 Three,
			 Four,
			 Five,

		};

	enum Card_Suit
		{
			Spades = 99,
			Clubs = 1099,
			Diamonds =2500,
			Hearts = 12
		};
//void fill_cards(Cards * n_ptr)
 //{

 //}


int main()
{

	    Card_Deck * n_ptr = new Card_Deck[52];
	   // fill_cards(n_ptr);

	    return 0;

}

Just declare your Card_Deck after Card_Ranks and Card_Suits.

As Thomas says. The compiler needs to know what something is before you try to use it.

Worked great. I understand why as well. Thx
