Oh yes, it is possible to have an array of classes/structs. You access them
just like you showed above, and that is one way of defining a global array of
classes. Just remember, that the access specifiers(public, protected, and
private) still apply.
Also remember that when you say somename[21], "21" is the number of
classes on your array(count starts at zero and goes to 20!), so 21 is not the last
element on your array, and you should NEVER do something like this:
for(i = 0; i <= 21; i++) //this will eventually lead to problems!!!! Never do!
//accss the array with i.
instead:
for(i = 0; i < 21; i++) //this is the right way.
//access array with i
21 is not the last element on your array, but the number of classes on the
array! The last element is the number of classes on your array minus one.
Remember that! Otherwise, you'll overwrite memory outside the array bounds.
Just a few tips that I've violated myself.
