A question about structures
I'm in the process of teaching myself C++ (with the help of several good books) so I can develop some DLL's for another application. Looking through an example of one of these, there's a line that defines a structure as follows: struct ParameterDefinition primaryParams[]= { {"x position =", kXpos, 1.0} {... 20 Apr 2008 11:36
