How initialize array of classes? (C++)

Question

Hello,

I have this class constructor:

Pairs (int Pos, char *Pre, char *Post, bool Attach = true);

How can I initialize array of Pairs classes? I tried:

Pairs Holder[3] =
{
    {Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post"},
    {Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post"},
    {Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post"}
};

Apparently it's not working, I also tried to use () brackets instead of {} but compiler keeps moaning all the time. Sorry if it is lame question, I googled quite hard but wasn't able to find answer :/

Thanks.

Answer 1

Call the constructor:

Pairs Holder[3] =
{
    Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post"),
    Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post"),
    Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post")
};

This is similar to saying

Holder[0] = Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post");
Holder[1] = Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post");
Holder[2] = Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post");

A full-fledged class can be found here.

Call the constructor explicitly:

Pairs Holder[3] =
{
    Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post"),
    Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post"),
    Pairs(Input.find("as"), "Pre", "Post")
};
