[Dev-C++] 1D array

I've never tried using arrays before in C++, just am familiar with using 
them in python.  I tried initializing the array as string months and 
then {"January","February", ect} but the complier told me I needed to 
set it up in constructor method.  I looked that up in my book and came 
up with this, but now I get the error that January isn't declared.

My intention is to have it automatically advance to the next month in 
the list by months[i] in the inner loop.  Am I on the right track?

Thanks!

#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;



int main()
{

int years = 0;
int counter = 0;
int month = 0;
int average = 0;
*class months = 
{January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December};*


months++
cout<<"Please enter the # of years.">>endl;
  for(i=years; i<=years; i++1)

{   
  for(i=12; i<=12; i++1)
  {cout<<"Please enter the rainfall for"<<months[i]<<;
  cin>>month
  sum = sum + month
  counter = counter + 1
}

average = sum / counter


cout<<"The total number of months was "<<counter<<".";
cout<<"The total inches of rainfall was "<<sum<<".";
cout<<"The average rainfall was "<<average<<".";



  return 0;
}
