const string declaration

[L E G I O N]

im working on a poker game and im trying to declare and initialize strings to represent card faces/suits

and im getting some very strange erros such as... fatal error cannot recover from previous error(s) stopping compilation

anyways this is the code please let me know what im doing wrong

i've already deleted my debug folder in order to re compile it and im still getting this error when i uncomment it out

const string FACE[13] = ["A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K"};
	const string SUIT [4] = {"S","C","D","H"};

i've actually got the previous error to go away it just gives me syntax errors for the [] braces

[moorecm]

const string FACE[13] = ["A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K"};
//                      ^ 

[L E G I O N]

Error 2 error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';' c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\poker heroz\poker heroz\deck.h 10

thats one of the errors thats now coming up i've got like 8 of them :S

and the previous code was wrong this is it

#include "Card.h"


class Deck : Card
{

	//const string SUIT[4];
	//const string FACE[13];
	const string FACE[13] = ["A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K"];
	const string SUIT [4] = ["S","C","D","H"];

	int MAX_CARDS[52];

public:
		
	Deck();
	void Shuffle();
	void show_cards();
	int get_card(int cardID);
};

const string FACE[13] = {"A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K"};

[L E G I O N]

i tried that ... and i still get 12 errors

Error 2 error C2334: unexpected token(s) preceding '{'; skipping apparent function body c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\poker heroz\poker heroz\deck.h 10


Error 1 error C2059: syntax error : '{' c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\poker heroz\poker heroz\deck.h 10


does it need to be declared b4 its initialized??
im kinda confused... lol

[filipe]

Maybe it's the whitespace between SUIT and [4].

// i took the randomizer from freedosauras.com
#include "Card.h"


class Deck : Card
{

	//const string SUIT[4];
	//const string FACE[13];
	const string FACE[13] = {"A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K"};
	const string SUIT[13] = {"S","C","D","H"};


	int MAX_CARDS[52];

public:
		
	Deck();
	void Shuffle();
	void show_cards();
	int get_card(int cardID);
};

i might just change the const string suit/face to enums because its giving me too many problems and i dont have time to mess with it

[jsmith]

string should be std::string

[L E G I O N]

yeah but i put using namespace std; so it should work fine shouldnt it?
