Classes?

I have a Connect Four project, and I need to be able to access a part of another class within one class.

My problem here is that I keep getting the error that 'board' isn't defined, and I need to take 'board' from a different class and use it here. Board is identified here

class Board

public:
	Board();
	void getArray(char theArray[][7]);
	void printBoard();
	bool checkMove(int col);

Board::Board()
{
	// for every row and column pair fill in an 'e'
	for (int row = 0; row < 6; row++)
		for (int col = 0; col < 7; col++)
			board[row][col] = 'e';
}

You are passing a Board b but then you just attempt to access it like it is an array, and you are also calling it 'board'. Use your member functions in Board in order to get the array.

or overload the [] operator to make your player code valid
herbert1910 (48)
try to access board through something like b.board[row][col]. maybe your compiler doesn't know board is in b.

board is private, which may give you a new error. maybe you can use public method getArray to get a current copy of board?


by the way, what does pX do on line 1? i get errors when i do that.
