So i have this 2 arrays inside my main function:
const char* basket[];
const char* basket_peach[] = {"1 1111 2 0000","2 2222 2 0000", 0};
...
if (strcmp (c_id,"somebasketid") == 0){
basket = basket_peach;
}
...
If i try to do this:
...
if (strcmp (c_id,"somebasketid") == 0){
const char* basket[] = basket_peach;
}
...
My main function tell me this " error: use of undeclared identifier 'basket'"
Any good idea how to do this one ?
Simply put, you can't assign an array in C and C++.
Moreover, the following will not even compile:
const char* basket[];
Arrays must be declared with an explicit size (inside the []) or an initializer list from which the compiler can deduce the size.
If you're writing C++, what you really need is a vector:
std::vector<const char*> basket;
std::vector<const char*> basket_peach = {"1 1111 2 0000","2 2222 2 0000", 0};
...
if (strcmp (c_id,"somebasketid") == 0){
basket = basket_peach;
}
The above will work as you expected. Better yet, replace const char* with string as well:
std::vector<std::string> basket;
std::vector<std::string> basket_peach = {"1 1111 2 0000","2 2222 2 0000", ""};
... NOTICE THIS! ^^
if (c_id == "somebasketid"){
basket = basket_peach;
}
This will also work as you'd expect.
<vector>? Or are you using an old/non-conforming version of C++? Related: stackoverflow.com/q/16087886/3425536You need room for basket
const char* basket[]; /* Array of pointers with 0 length */
const char* basket_peach[] = {"1 1111 2 0000","2 2222 2 0000", 0};
should be
const char *basket_peach[] = {"1 1111 2 0000","2 2222 2 0000", 0};
const char *basket[sizeof(basket_peach) / sizeof(basket_peach[0])];
basket = basket_peach;
you can't assign to an array in this way, use a loop:
for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(basket) / sizeof(basket[0]); i++) {
basket[i] = basket_peach[i];
}
or declare basket as a pointer to pointer:
const char *basket_peach[] = {"1 1111 2 0000","2 2222 2 0000", 0};
const char **basket;
...
basket = basket_peach;
