problem with copy ctor / operator=

[gcampton]

you know I think your looking at it backwards Disch:
if you do this with standard arrays:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int a[4][7];
   int counter=0;

   for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
   { 
      for (int j=0; j<7; j++)
         a[i][j] = ++counter;
      counter=0;
   }

   for (int y=0; y<4; y++)
   {
      for (int x=0; x<7; x++)
         cout << a[y][x];
      cout << endl;
   }

   for (int q=0; q<7; q++)
   {
      for (int w=0; w<4; w++)
         cout << a[q][w];
      cout << endl;
   }

   return 0;
}

It's most definitely: row/height/y ( * ) col/width/x

That's just because multidimentional arrays are backwards (yet another reason they're evil).

Everywhere in mathematics where 2D cartesian coordinates are used, it's pretty much always (x,y).

So yeah... if you're used to doing everything backwards (as MD arrays force you to), then doing things the normal way will seem backwards.

EDIT:

But whatever. It's your class for your own use. Write it however you want! ;P

You guys have completely confused me with all these arrays lol.

[gcampton]

Oh true, c/java and derivatives are backwards...that's silly

[Disch]

it makes sense that they're backwards when you think about how they work (arrays of arrays). The syntax just doesn't play ball with the "normal" (x,y) approach.

But that's the beauty of a class like this. You can do it however you want.
