The starred lines below are throwing back the following error:
error: scalar object 'paper' requires one element in initializer
Any idea what might be causing this? This seems like a relatively straightforward initialization.
int main(){
double paper [] = {8.0, 11.0};//***
double box [] = {6.0, 10.0};//***
paperFold pf;
cout << pf.numFolds(paper,box) << endl;
return 0;
}
This line :
double paper [] = {8.0, 11.0};
is perfectly correct either in C or in C++, for any versions I can remember.
But compilers can be disturbed by other errors in the stream.
This code is fine in C++:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
double paper [] = { 8.0, 11.0 }; //***
std::cout << paper[0] << " - " << paper[1] << std::endl;
return 0;
}
As is this one in C:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
double paper [] = { 8.0, 11.0 }; //***
printf("%f - %f\n", paper[0], paper[1]);
return 0;
}
The error message complains that you are trying to initializing a scalar object paper with multiple initializers.
i.e. something like this:
double paper = {8.0, 11.0};
But obviously paper is an aggregate type in the code you posted which shouldn't produce that error. So, it means you haven't posted
the code that produced the error or simply failed to save the source file?
paperFold? Anyway, array code seems fine, what compiler are you using?
