Hi, The goal of this program is to define all the objects required by
the program at one place - i.e., at the time of initialization. But I
soon run into problems when an object's intilization function argument
is dependent on another object's attribute which is yet to be defined.
How can I work around this problem? Thank you.

#define SIZE 100
Class Name
{
int _pos;
int _val;
void InitObj (int pos) : _pos ( pos ) { _val = 0 ; //temporary _val
initialization } ;
void InitValue (int buffer [ SIZE ] ) { _val = buffer [ pos ] ;
//permanant _val initialization } ;
// define other essential funcs
}
class Country
{
Name obj [ 2 ] ;
obj[0].InitObj ( 1 );
/* obj[1].IntiObj(obj[0]._val); // oops! obj[0]._val is not yet
initialized to non-zero value. Is there any way to get around this
problem? */
}
void Function_That_Works(Country& ex)
{
//define buffer & other required variables here
ex.obj[ 0 ].InitValue( buffer );
ex.obj[ 1 ].InitObj( obj[0]._val ); //tedious intialization of the
obj
ex.obj[ 1 ].InitValue( buffer );
}
void Function_That_DOES_NOT_Work(Country& ex)
{
//define buffer & other required variables here
for( int i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++ )
ex.obj[ i ].InitValue( buffer );
}
