trouble with structs

[Naive Programmer]

Hi,
I need some simple help. First, I should apologize: I am a total
programming fool in C++ and am trying to get some basic structs
working before I attempt classes. I can't seem to get the references
to those structs working properly and need help.

Suppose I have:
struct info
{
int color;
int count;
};

struct queue{
int front;
info list[15];
};


struct queue holding[20];

First, did I get the syntax right above?

Second, it this the right syntax for setting to 5 the color of list
element 0 of holding element 0?

holding[0].list[0].color = 5

Both of these pass through the compiler fine But
holding[0].list[0].color doesn't seem to appear properly on my VC++
variables list when I run in debug mode. It doesn't display anything
within list, when I think it should display color and count. What's
wrong? Thanks!

It is a bit Off Topic but If you send me a print screen to my email
I'll see if I understand you better.

Maybe you are in a wrong scope.

First, the ONLY difference between a struct and a class is that every member
of a struct are public by default while member of a class are private by
default. So learning how struct works is learning how class works.

Suppose I have:
struct info
{
int color;
int count;
};

you could also write
class info
{
public:
int color;
int count;
}

struct queue{
int front;
info list[15];
};


struct queue holding[20];

First, did I get the syntax right above?

struct queue holding[20];
is valid but it is C style programming. You should drop the struct like this

queue holding[20];

Second, it this the right syntax for setting to 5 the color of list
element 0 of holding element 0?

holding[0].list[0].color = 5
yes


Both of these pass through the compiler fine But
holding[0].list[0].color doesn't seem to appear properly on my VC++
variables list when I run in debug mode. It doesn't display anything
within list, when I think it should display color and count. What's

No idea cause it should work...

Here's the error I get:

Change
struct queue{
int front;
info list[15];

};

to
struct queue{
int front;
struct info list[15];
};

Because info needs to be of a type.Tell me if it worked.I too am
curious about the output.

In C++, a struct defines a new type, exactly as class does.
However, if he uses a C compiler, probably that can be the problem.
