I have seen that this question has been asked but not exactly from this approach. I looked at the other threads and did not see a solution for approach I have to take on this project. Please forgive me for the lengthy post in advance. I have to solve this issue from an OOP perspective, thing is I am trying to use an array to hold the number of disks that the user enters. I do not see another way of doing it.
**This is my .h file for the class Tower.**
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "Location.h"
using namespace std;
//Class for the tower
class Tower
{
private:
Location _location;
public:
//Constructor to build object
Tower(Location location);
//set get functions to set and get values.
void setLocation (Location newLocation);
Location getLocation()const;
};
**This is my location.h file i used an enum datatype to specify the location of each peg.**
enum Location
{
start,
middle,
last
};
**My disk.h file that has the properties of my disks.**
using namespace std;
class Disk
{
private:
int _diskLocation;
int _diskSize;
public:
Disk(Tower tow1, int sizeOfDisk);
void setdiskSize(int);
int getdiskSize()const;
void setdiskLocation(Tower newTower);
Tower getdiskLocation()const;
};
**This is my implementation file where I initialized the constructor and its data members.**
using namespace std;
Tower::Tower(Location location)
{
setLocation(location);
}
Disk::Disk(Tower tow1, int sizeOfDisk)
{
setdiskSize(sizeOfDisk);
setdiskLocation(tow1);
}
Finally the main.cpp file. here i make the objects to be used but when i try to pass in the number of disks entered by the user into the array i get the following error. **"Array initializer must be an initializer list"**
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
Tower tower1(start);
Tower tower2(middle);
Tower tower3(last);
int numberOfDisks =0;
cout << "Enter number of disks: " << endl;
cin >> numberOfDisks;
Disk disks[] = new Disk [numberOfDisks]
return 0;
}
I am beginning to think the problem is unsolvable using this approach. Every solution for this problem that I have found on the internet has it being done procedurally. Barring some other languages and programming concepts I have not been taught yet. This is my second programming class I have ever taken. Thank you for the help.
