Static Member variable

[sebgar]

How do you initialize a static variable when it's a struct?? i can't make it work...

struct sommething
{
     int a;
     int b;
};

class Myclass
{
public:
     static something c1;
};

Thanks!!

You misspelled something in your struct, maybe that's your problem?
You can always just use a constructor.
Otherwise try it normally:

something Myclass::c1.a = 3;

I haven't tested, but I don't think you can do it that way. You'd have to initialize the whole struct.

One way is to use the {braces} approach:

something Myclass::c1 = {3,5};  // a=3, b=5 

Another way would be to give something a constructor.

:o Disch I tried that and it worked. That's pretty cool I didn't know that :)

Awesome, thank you!!

could you also just type

int a = 0;
int b = 0;

to initialize the integers for A and B?

If you wanted to initialize a and b separately you'd have to do it like this:

struct something
{
     int a;
     int b;
};

class Myclass
{
public:
     static something c1;
};

Myclass::c1.a = 0;
Myclass::c1.b = 0;

EDIT: Scratch that. That doesn't work.
