Im new a programming. Currently, im in the process of learning C++ and ive been learning about arrays. I have started to create a TicTacToe game and am going to use an array to create the board. Right now im creating the instructions which includes a board with numbers for the different slots. I want to use an array to display that instruction "board" also, but im having difficulties. Here is the code that is within a Class: private: char player_Choice; int instruct_Board[3][3] = { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9} }; char ttt_Board[3][3]; public: void Instructions() //Tells how the GameBoard is set up @ How to use it { cout<< "Here is how the game works!!!\n\n" << "There are two players. One player is 'X' the other player is 'O'\n\n"; for(int x = 0; x < 3; ++x) { for(int y = 0; y < 3; ++y) cout<< instruct_Board[x][y]; cout<<endl; } As you can see i have a multidimensional array called instruct_board. The problem is, it wont let me compile that array the way it is. It tried setting up this same board in another program but i set it up in the "main" function. When set up in the "main" function, it worked just fine. It compiled and displayed the instruction board. My question is: Because I have the array set up in a Class, do the rules somehow change? Is there something else messing with it? Please any help would be appriciative.
