Creating array with constant
- by wrongusername
I was working on a program in Netbeans on Linux using a gcc compiler when, upon switching to Visual C++ on Windows 7, the code failed to compile as Visual C++ says it expected constant expression on several lines. On Netbeans, I simply did something similar to char name[fullName.size()];, while on Visual C++, I tried, among other things,
const int position = fullName.size();
char Name[position];
How can I create a constant to use for the array?
