How do I declare a struct within a class?

Question

I want to declare a struct within a class which is private and I want to give a character value to a variable in the same struct, but I can't initialize it or cin it: ``` class puple { private: struct p { char name[25]; int grade; }; public: puple(){}; void setme() { this->p::grade=99; this->p::name[25]='g'; //here is the problem } void printme() { cout<<"Name: "<p::name<p::grade<

Accepted Answer

You've describe a type called "p" which is a struct. There is yet no thing of type p around. Therefore your

```
p->...
```

calls make no sense.

Try declaring

```
p pInstance;
```

in your class and using it, ie:

```
void setme()
{
    this->pInstance.grade=99;
    this->pInstance.name[25]='g';  //here is the problem
}
```

Note even with this your assignment to name[25] will fail as the allowed indices for that array are 0 up to 24 (totalling 25 elements).
