calling a constructor within a constructor

[Brett Irving]

Hi once again, another question,

I want to make a class object MyArray a global but have no idea about
how to go about initialising it within the constructor as it wont let
me do something like,

private:
int size;

MyArray MyArr(size);

I think I need to call the class constructor something to the effect
of

yourArray(int s, int num): MyArr(s)
{
............
}

My code is similar to this

class MyArray
{
............
MyArray(int size);

}
class yourArray
{

private:
MyArray(int);

public:
..
..
..
..
..
}
please help.

Please provide a minimal, but _complete_ example program of what you are
trying. The above code fragments don't make sense.

Make it:
MyArray myArray;

where 'myArray' is just a member variable name of your choice.
public:

Your constructor will look something like:

yourArray::yourArray(int s, int num) : myArray(s) {}

However, this will not make it "global" as you requested. A MyArray object
will be in every yourArray object.

You should stop using the word global to mean what every one else calls a
member variable.

And you should post more complete code.
