copied!<p>You wrote this</p> <pre><code>for (int k = 0; k < 13; k++) { for (int j = 0; j< 1; j++) { for (int i = 0; i< 4; i++) { cabins[13][4][1] = (("b" "i" "i" "b") </code></pre> <p>Which would iterate across all the characters in the array, and then try to assign the entire array that slot, if it worked, or was valid C++.</p> <p>I'm not sure what "(("b" "i" "i" "b")" is supposed to be, but you seem to have missed some C++ fundamentals. What you actually want is something more like</p> <pre><code>char cabins[13][4]; // only needs to be 2d. void Ship::setArray() { cabins = { { 'b', 'i', 'i', 'b' }, { 'b', 'i', 'i', 'b' }, ... }; } </code></pre> <p>[edit: I hit return early, working on the laptop, sorry]</p> <p>This too would not work. If the array definition here is to be persistent, you'll need to store it somewhere.</p> <p>Here's a complete single-compilation-unit example of how you might solve it:</p> <pre><code>#include <iostream> #include <cstring> // for memcpy class Ship { public: Ship() {} char m_cabins[4][4]; void setArray(); }; void Ship::setArray() { static const char defaultCabinLayout[4][4] = { { 'b', 'i', 'i', 'b' }, { 'b', 'i', 'i', 'b' }, { 'w', 'i', 'i', 'w' }, { 'w', 'i', 'i', 'w' }, }; static_assert(sizeof(m_cabins) == sizeof(defaultCabinLayout), "defaultCabinLayout does not match m_cabins"); memcpy(m_cabins, defaultCabinLayout, sizeof(m_cabins)); } int main() { Ship s; s.setArray(); std::cout << "cabins[0][0] = " << s.m_cabins[0][0] << std::endl; } </code></pre>
