Game Of Life

[a22asin]

Hi, so im trying to implement Conway's Game of Life. I have an idea of how im going to do it. My problem is that within 10 min of coding, i get these errors:

code:

GameOfLife.cpp:10: error: multidimensional array must have bounds for all dimensions except the first GameOfLife.cpp:10: error: expected ?,? or ?...? before ?loc? GameOfLife.cpp:12: warning: extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x GameOfLife.cpp:14: error: expected primary-expression before ?int? GameOfLife.cpp:14: error: expected ?}? before ?int? GameOfLife.cpp:14: error: expected ?,? or ?;? before ?int? GameOfLife.cpp:18: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ?<<? token GameOfLife.cpp:19: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ?>>? token GameOfLife.cpp:20: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ?<<? token GameOfLife.cpp:21: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ?>>? token GameOfLife.cpp:23: error: expected unqualified-id before ?for? GameOfLife.cpp:23: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ?>? token GameOfLife.cpp:27: error: expected declaration before ?}? token

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why im getting these errors. I have tried to research how to use my codes and what not and i followed it to the dot. Can someone please help me out here and point me to the right direction?

code:

#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std; const int MAX_X = 1000; const int MAX_Y = 1000; const int MAX_CELL = 100; int death(int[][] loc, Strig[] c, int s); int main{                 int occupied;         int steps;         int loc [MAX_CELL][MAX_CELL];         cout << "How many occupied cells would you like to make: ";         cin >> occupied;         cout << "How many steps should be preformed: ";         cin >> steps;         for (int i = 0; i > steps; i++){                 } } int death(int[][] loc, String[] c,int s){         for (int i = 0; i > o; i++){                 for (int j = 0; j > o; j++){                                 }         } }

Start from the first error:

what the message is saying is that you want

code:

int[][100]

not

code:

int[][]

ok, then what about the remainder of the errors:

code:

GameOfLife.cpp:10: error: expected ?,? or ?...? before ?loc? GameOfLife.cpp:12: warning: extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x GameOfLife.cpp:14: error: expected primary-expression before ?int?

ive tried going through the error and figuring it out. Like for line 12, i do say using namespace std at the beginning, so i dont know why that comes up, i have all the necessary brackets and other punctuations in my code (as you can see above), but im still getting the error.

G++ was giving me a different set of errors, which lead to looking up the documentation to what's expected -- http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/arrays/

code:

int loc[][100]

ok, so after the painstaking hours of searching fro my problems, i have finally got my program working. Thanks Tony. The only problem now is that my g++ keeps giving me the error that the directory or file doesn't exist; im working on a linux shell (which im using for another class as well).
