How to stop money from going over

Pages: 1... 34567

Hmm well been a while I dont even use []

How about
before calling Player pc( );
you put something like bool test[2] = { false , false };
then put that when you create the object instead of { false , false };

I use pointers/vectors
Ch1156 (1994)
i'll just use a pointer, i would like to start using them as i never used them in my programs before aside from just testing and playing around with them. So how would i go about doing that?

#include <iostream>

class Test
{
public:
    Test( bool* );
private:
    bool *test;
};

Test::Test( bool *test ) : test( test ){};

int main()
{
    bool t2[2] = { true , true };
    Test t( t2 );
}


here is one way. There might be better ways though.

Ok i changed everything and it compiles without warnings or errors did i do everything right?

There's always std::array for fixed size arrays like your plr_inventory.
Ch1156 (1994)
i would rather use a pointer
giblit (3750)
Well he might get more items later on but I do agree he could use any of the stl containers if he wanted http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/ but what ever works for him is okay with me. I don't mind using pointers for simple stuff.

I usually only use arrays when I am putting user-noninterfaceable items in there, like an array of function pointers, or an array containing different output messages that are dependent upon some state or another, and so I can avoid the whole switch/if-else situation altogether.
Ch1156 (1994)
precisely, so does it look good? also i have a question about pointers with classes, im used to seeing pointers like this:

1
2
3
4
 
int num = 500;
int *p_int = &num;

cout << *p_int << endl;


This i understand completley, a number is created, then a pointer is created and the numbers memory address is assigned to the pointer and then dereferenced in the cout statement but i really cant figure out whats going on in the class with the pointers.

I am totally not sure what you're asking. Especially with
but i really cant figure out whats going on in the class with the pointers.
Ch1156 (1994)
ok sorry so ok here i have

bool *PLR_INVENTORY

in the constructor. I also have it again in the constructor in the class

Player(int MONEY, std::string NAME, int EXPERIENCE,

           int DECRYPTIONTOOLPRICE, bool *PLR_INVENTORY
          );



why is that?

and lastly why is it created again here in private

bool *plr_inventory;

from my POV it seems as though its creating the nitial pointer in all of these 3 spots but i know i must be wrong, please explain.

That is why I recommended std::array. I am guessing it merely flips on or off to tell if an item is present in the inventory.

Edit:
Emphasis.

Now I'm completely confused. You're not sure why you put those pointers in there? Did someone else write that code for you or something?
Ch1156 (1994)
pretty much.
giblit (3750)
Oh I didn't realize he said a fixed size I figured his player would pick up stuff off the ground later on and drop things as he went.
Ch1156 (1994)
no thats for when you buy the items at the shop, they are set to true.
Ch1156 (1994)
So anyways what about those pointers.
giblit (3750)
What about them? I'm confused lol.
