string array returning erros

[Blooded]

for some reason the following code returns error "a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token" all the time, cannot seem to figure out why, sorry, i am noob.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int i=0;
string group1;
string Group1[20][2]
{
{"State1","1"},
{"State2","2"},
{"State3","3"},
{"State4","4"},
{"State5","5"},
{"State6","6"},
{"State7","7"},
{"State8","8"},
{"State9","9"},
{"State10","10"},
{"State11","11"},
{"State12","12"},
{"State13","13"},
{"State14","14"},
{"State15","15"},
{"State16","16"},
{"State17","17"},
{"State18","18"},
{"State19","19"},
{"State20","20"}
};
struct CityState
{
bool asked;
char state[25];
char cirty[25];
}question[20];

cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}

Missing assignment operator '='

string Group1[20][2] =

yeah, that would be it. i am an idiot of monstrous proportion, thanks mate, appreciated...
dyslexia is the ultimate pain for this kind fo work

So now i have managed to get to here. The bold is where i get stuck. Obviously i am not understanding how to point to a specific CityState via pointers. What i want to do is check each struct if the bool is true, and if yes move on, else i will perform an operation on the struct. But not sure how to accomplish this.....

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int i=0;
string test="";
string Group1[20][2]=
{
{"State1","1"},
{"State2","2"},
{"State3","3"},
{"State4","4"},
{"State5","5"},
{"State6","6"},
{"State7","7"},
{"State8","8"},
{"State9","9"},
{"State10","10"},
{"State11","11"},
{"State12","12"},
{"State13","13"},
{"State14","14"},
{"State15","15"},
{"State16","16"},
{"State17","17"},
{"State18","18"},
{"State19","19"},
{"State20","20"}
};
struct CityState
{
bool asked;
string state;
string city;
}question[20];
CityState * pointCS;
pointCS = question;
for(i=0;i<20;i++)
{
question[i].asked=false;
question[i].state=Group1[i][0];
question[i].city=Group1[i][1];
// cout << "the value of i is " << i << endl;
}
i=0;
for(i=0;i<20;i++)
{
test=*pointCS[][1];

// cout << "the value of i is " << i << endl;
}
i=0;
for(i=0;i<20;i++)
{
cout << "State: " << question[i].state << " City: " << question[i].city << "\n";
}
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}

Consider putting the tags [code] and [/code] around your code to format it ;o)

I think you have too many square brackets on your array:

test=*pointCS[][1]; // what's with the first [] ? 

Also I suspect you don't want the dereference operator * there. Subscripting the array with [] dereference it already.

test=*pointCS[1]; // what's with the * ? 

And you seem to have typed the number 1 rather than the letter i

test=pointCS[1]; // Really number 1? Not i? 

And you seem to have failed to declare a type for variable temp

/* type?? */test=pointCS[i]; // What type is temp? 

Its hard to imagine how you could squeeze more errors into such a small piece of code. For that you should be commended!

[Blooded]

So do you mean like this?
not quite sure what you mean above, very very confused person here.
have read through the bit about pointers on here a few times, but not getting it at all.

   for(i=0;i<20;i++)
    {
        pointCS=&question[i];
        test=pointCS;

            // cout << "the value of i is " << i << endl;
    }

And you seem to have failed to declare a type for variable temp



/* type?? */test=pointCS[i]; // What type is temp?

not sure what you are referring to here, i have no types temp anywhere, neither entioned nor assigned.

I think you most likely meant this:

for(i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
    CityState test = pointCS[i];
}
