How to define a constant integer inside a class with keyword const ?

I know this is illegal:
class XYZ {
const int myConst = 1;
....};

But then, does it mean I have to use #define ?
Thanks

No, you don't have to use #define to define a constant in C++.


Not very helpful. Quite ignorant actually. Asshole.


??? What did I say that offended you? I really was trying to answer
the OP's question.

Sorry!! I misinterpreted what you said. I've read a few posts today where
people have just given stupid answers just like "Nope.", particularly
Stephen Waits, and I was thinking along those lines when I read *your* post.

Sorry again for the misunderstandin g.

Hi, what is the different between the following two ways to use const in a function definition: 1. const Array &operator=(const Array &); 2. int getSize() const; keyword const to the left of return type and to the right of the parameter list, what is the different here? I know for the 2nd case, the function can not modify the object's data member.

Hi all and thanks again in advance, What is the best way of defining global constants in a C# application? (A windows application with no windows forms - basically a set of classes). Would it be a wise idea to create a clsCommonApp and let all other classes to be derived from that class? and define all constants in that base class? Any other suggestions are more than welcome. (BTW this is not for one constant, I have multiple...

Hi There! I'm trying to define constants so that I can refer those constants from any page of my ASP.NET website. I know I can use <appSettings> in web.config XML file but I don't want to parse and read the whole XML document everytime a page is requested. In classic ASP, I used Include files and define constants using Const keyword so that every page that has been included the file can refer the constants.

What is the difference between 'const' and 'define()' ? When would I prefer using 'const' over 'define', or vice versa? It seems if i do: const secondsInMinute = 60; define("secondsInMinute", 60); Aren't these two the same thing? - Jason

Dear all, the following are the differences b/w #define and typedef ,which i have seen in Peter van der lindens book. is there any other difference between thes two ? The right way to think about typedef as being a complete encapsulated type - you can't add to it after you have declared it.

I'm new to C++/CLI and my main background is Java. I'm trying to create an array of constants as a static member of a class. An example is shown below: public ref class TestClass { public: static const array<constant int>^ stuff = {1,2,3,4,5}; }; This gives me compiler error C4538 which basically says that you can't

Hi, I have a question on constant variables. In the following code snippet, I have a function assign() that takes in an iterator to the private variable v, the number of stuff to assign (int n), and the information to assign (a const pointer to a class object Vector<TYPE>. According to the arrow below, I put a const keyword in the function. To my knowledge, this means that all private variables in this object

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
