Error accessing string array

Question

Hello. I can initialize the array just fine, but when I try to access it, I get an error: "the name does not exist in the current context" I copy/paste code from the internet and it is still doing this. I tried changing all the different combinations of public and private, and it still happens. Thanks in advance!

In appears you are coding in C#. So consider the following:

namespace DM
{
        class Armour
        {
            string[] strArray = new string[] { "Mahesh", "Mike", "Raj", "Praveen", "Dinesh" };
            string test;

            static string[] staticArray = new string[] { "Tom", "Dick", "Harry" };
            string test2 = staticArray[0];  // initialize from static array

            public string Test1()
            {
                test = strArray[0];
                return test;
            }

Hi WilliamOGorm,

The "test" should be placed in a function, not directly inside a class. You could update your code like this:

namespace DM
{
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>

    class Armour
    {
    public:
        string strArray[5] = { "Mahesh", "Mike", "Raj", "Praveen", "Dinesh" };
        string test;

        string test() {
            test = strArray[0];
            return test;
        }
    };
};

Best Regards,
Dylan

The error is on the line that starts with "test":

namespace DM
{
class Armour
{

    string[] strArray = new string[] { "Mahesh", "Mike", "Raj", "Praveen", "Dinesh" };

    string test;

    test = strArray[0];
