Hi I have a question about classes. If you have a class and its constructor takes arguements. Is there a way you can create an array that stores objects from that class but each one of them getting diefferent arguements?
Btw, I'm using it to create a game using SDL, tetris and I have a class fo blocks and for the pieces and I want the pieces class to have an array that stores the blocks in its piece.
Thanks in advance.

No if you create an array of classes either as automatic variables or by allocating then they all call the default constructor.

So you're saying that if I create an array of instances they all have to be passed the same arguments?

No I am saying you can't pass any arguments, you have to use the default constructor, that is a constructor that takes no arguments or where all arguments have a default value.
The workaround for your problem is to have a default constructor tat does very little and then to have an Initialise member function that takes the arguments and initialises the class data from them. Then you construct your array and then call the initialise member function for each array item.

Oh ok then thanks very much.
Hey Python I'm looking for my post on classes and ran across yours. Looks like your a term ahead of me, are you a GSP major? I have a post here somewhere and it deals with classes and constructors, having written our first program using structs now we're into classes, seemingly quick too. Joe..
Good luck, sounds confusing.
What do you do when you've forgotten what you named your thread and you can't find it? i'd appreciate it

Well, I''m not in college and I have no idea what a GSP major is. I didn't learn this with school, I just did it on my own.
