[comp.lang.c++] array size defined by a constructor

lius@reef.cis.ufl.edu (S. S. Liu) (03/23/91)

The attached C++ program will generate an error

    `order' undeclared, outside of functions.

Is there any reason why "order" in the class scope was not recognized?

Please reply by email.  Thanks for your help.
