Class variable which is object of this class
The title can be confusing, but I'm wondering is it possible to create program like this one:
class family_tree
{
private:
string name, surname;
family_tree father(); //fragile point!
public:
family_tree();
family_tree(string n, string sur");
void print();
};
What does the standard say about such declaration? What the good habits of programming saying about it? Is it dangerous?
What is more I can't use the second constructor:
family_tree father("A","B&qu开发者_JAVA百科ot;);
compiler:
expected identifier before string constant
expected ',' or '...' before string constant
class family_tree
{
private:
string name, surname;
family_tree father(); //fragile point!
public:
family_tree();
family_tree(string n, string sur); // note that I removed a " here.
void print();
};
It's perfectly valid. Your fragile point is not fragile at all- you have a function that returns a family_tree, and it doesn't matter that it's called on a family_tree object. Whether or not the language provides for you to implicitly cast the const char* string literal to the std::string, I can't recall.
upss..you're right DeadMG I just declared function. Somebody before you(he deleted message?) wrote that I can declare pointer to object family_tree *father; I think it's the best solution for my problem
