Re: [Dev-C++] 1D array

You must have missed something in your C++ book. Class of what type? And
if you try to get an array of January, February, ... - where is the
definition for January?

char* months[] = { "January", "February", ... };

In this case, months has a known data type - array of string pointers.
In this case, the array elements are not undefined variables, but of
directly specified string constants.
