If I use a vector instead of an array to hold my strings (which I
like the idea of because then I don't have to specify the size in
advance), I still don't know how to declare an empty one in the
wordSets:
struct wordsForSet {
int setNum;
vector <string> words;
float timeSpent;
};
struct wordsForSet wordSets[6] = {
{0, "", 0},
{1, "", 0},
{2, "", 0},
{3, "", 0},
{4, "", 0},
{5, "", 0}
};
What do I write instead of "" in the struct?
(I am using the default compiler for Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.)
Thanks,
Robin.
