C++, I'm stuck with vectors and functions

[thevil1]

Well Can I cut in with my owns question?

OK so I have a new question. Unless you know a bit about programming you probably wont be able to help, But you can still say what you think.
I'm trying to make a console program of the math game Suduku, in C++. I have the algorithm wrote out, but then syntax is a problem for me. This is what I have so far:

//By: Thevil1
#include <iostream>                                                     //line 1
using namespace std;                                                    //line 2
int main()                                                              //line 3

{                                                                       //line 4
    int aa, ab, ac, ad, ae, af, ag, ah, ai,                             //line 5
        ba, bb, bc, bd, be, bf, bg, bh, bi,                             //line 6

I copied a puzzle from websudoku.com. My problem is How do I get the pre-defined integers (lines 14-17) into their correct place on the bored, an the one that are user defined into their correct places. Then I will just use one big 'if' statement to sum it all up.

NOTE: the board layout goes as follows:
'aa' goes in 1a, 'ab' goes in 2a etc... I tried to make it as simple as I could.
PLEASE HELP!

Geez... Go look up arrays! (Specifically, 2D ones!)

Sudoku guy, Might want to write a function to draw your board.

Not sure about in C++, and if they behave the same way but this is how you would do it in java.

//java
Vector<datatype> vector_name = new Vector<datatype>();
vector_name.add(new datatype(arg1, arg2, arg3));

So if I were you I'de make sure that my turbine class has a constructor defined (post your turbine.h file so we can help with this).

Then, perhaps something like this will work:

//c++
Vector <turbine> turb();
turb.push_back(new turbine(arg1, arg2, arg3)); //constructor arguments

or alternatively with code that's a little easier to understand you could use

//c++
Vector<turbine> turb();
turbine tmp = new turbine(arg1, arg2, arg3); //construstor arguments
turb.push_back(tmp);

Post your turbine.h file and we'll be able to help out more.

Edit: Nvm I see your turbine file now, but not the code of the turbine constructor, just it's declaration. I think the problem may be in there. Keep in mind you can use the constructor to set initial values of your turbines rather than calling gets and sets for each newly created turbine.
