Structure definitions

[crystal twix]

As part of a homework problem, I'm trying to declare a new struct
within the definition, but my new definition is an array, and I am
only to define some of the values. For example:

#define STUDENTS 100

struct Test {
int score;
int grade;
} score[STUDENTS], ???

but I want to only initialize the first 5. Thanks!

Hi
Because it is a homework, I should give you just few hints:
1. Use const types rather than macros:
const int STUDENTS = 100;
2. The name of your array and one of its struct members are same:
score. use different names.
3. You can intialize the first 5 array elements using array
initilizers list
almost in the same way as initializing array of integers:
int a[100] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 };

Good luck

I assume your homework is a C++ assignment since you are posting here.
Use std::vector<Test> instead of a C-style array, and make Test a
class with a constructor.

(And if your teacher is not aware of the standard containers,
quit the class and buy a good C++ book instead.)
