How to save more pointers in one array

Question

I want to make a pointer to an instance of a class. Many instances - that is why I made an array which saves all of those. But how can I set the value of a pointer in a class to 0? That is the code... Maybe you know what I'm talking about

public:
    CCharacter *pTeamMember[15];

And in another file:

pTeams[team]->pTeamMember = 0;

It causes following error.

error C2440: '=' can't convert 'int' into 'CCharacter *[15]

What I don't understand is, that this don't causes any errors:

public:
    Team *pTeams[31];

And in another file:

pTeams[i] = 0;

Does anyone have ideas?

Answer 1

pTeamMember isn't a pointer. It's an array of pointers-to-CCharacter.

In your second example, you're assigning to one of the pointers in the array. You could do the same with pTeamMember:

pTeams[team]->pTeamMember[i] = 0;

Answer 2

To set the value of a pointer to 0 (presuming you mean point at nothing), you can do the following. Note that you can use 0 or nullptr (which is valid as of C++ 11)

int *p = nullptr;

In regards to your specific example, change

pTeams[team]->pTeamMember=0;

to

pTeams[team]->pTeamMember[index]=0;
