create an object in switch-case

c++, object, switch-statement

Solution

I can't say for sure with such a vague question, but I'm guessing that you're doing something like this:

switch(foo)
{
case 1:
  MyObject bar;
  // ...
  break;

case 2:
  MyObject bar;
  // ...
  break;
}

This isn't allowed because each case statement has the same scope. You need to provide more scope if you want to use the same variable name:

switch(foo)
{
case 1:
  {
    MyObject bar;
    // ...
    break;
  }

case 2:
  {
    MyObject bar;
    // ...
    break;
  }
}

Problem

i use visual studi 2008. (c++) in my switch case a wanted to create an object, but i doens't work. is it right, that i can't create an object in a switch case? if that's right,whats the best way to work around it, a new method that's creates that object? edit the code: ``` switch (causwahl){ case '1': cAccount *oAccount = new cAccount (ID); case '2' .... ```
