How do I put this statement in the class definition

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!!

I have these two statements
"typedef const char *enum_txt[];"
"enum_txt phase_tab =
{"IDLE","LAUNCHING","LAUNCHED","ROLLING","BOOSTERRELEASE","SPACE"};"

It's no problem to put the first statement "typedef const char *enum_txt[];"
for example the public section.in the definition of the class but how do I
put
this statement "enum_txt phase_tab =
{"IDLE","LAUNCHING","LAUNCHED","ROLLING","BOOSTERRELEASE","SPACE"};"
is the class definition because when I do I get compile error.

Declare them as static member of the class and define while initializing
it outside the class definition.

You can't but you don't need to.

I guess you're looking for something like this

class X
{
public:
static const char* const phase_tab[];
};

const char* const X:hase_tab[] =
{"IDLE","LAUNCHING","LAUNCHED","ROLLING","BOOSTERRELEASE","SPACE"};

No typedef necessary.

Oh i see, i didn't notice the typedef is for the definition. Then
actually he can just write

I guess you're looking for something like this

class X
{
public:
static const char* const phase_tab[];
};

typedef const char *enum_txt[];
enum_txt X:hase_tab =
{"IDLE","LAUNCHING","LAUNCHED","ROLLING","BOOSTERRELEASE","SPACE"};

which is more readable
