Header file Connect Four Game Problem

I get the following errors when I try to compile this code for a connect four game, so far I only have the board made.

error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type
error C2065: 'place' : undeclared identifier

Change the type of the board function parameter to that of ConnectFour::place.

Also put ConnectFour:: before the function name on line 29.

Thanks, but now i get this error:

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char' to 'char [6][7]' line 31
error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type line 37

    }

Would I put anything inside the constructor, and how do I fix error C2109?

The error is that on line 31 you have place, which is a two-dimensional array of characters, while you are trying to assign to it "p" which is just a single character. That doesn't make any sense.

[Peter87]

std::memcpy(place, p, sizeof(place));
