It doesn't compile wtf did I do wrong?

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "Circle.h"
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int node;
    cout << "Number of nodes: ";
    cin  >> node;
    cNode *circle = new cNode[node];
    int nodeVal[node];                      
    int nodes = node;
    while (node >= 0){
         cout << "\nInput value for node " <<(nodes - node + 1) << endl;
         cin  >> nodeVal[(nodes - node)];
         node--;
    }
    node = nodes;
    while (node >= 0){
         int curNode = (nodes - node);
         *circle[curNode].setValue(nodeVal[curNode]);
         node--;
    }
}

29 R:\Ants.cpp invalid type argument of `unary *'

*circle[curNode].setValue(nodeVal[curNode]);

this doesn't make sense because:
1. arrays are the same as pointers in C, so there's nothing to dereference
2. that actually would be dereferencing the return value of setValue and doing nothing with it, anyway

>> 2
1. What the hell does that mean?
2. setValue doesn't return anything. It changes a class value.

More importantly, how do I fix it? And what is a `unary *'?

>>3
Remove the * from the start of the line you bloody tard.

This is /prog not /homework

>>5 where is /homework (ie, where **can** I ask my tard questions at)?

>>6
Here, silly

>>6
You have to create a buffer overflow first and change /prog to /homework

Why do you count node down from nodes to 0, and then index everything with curNode? You could have just started node from 0 and counted up to nodes, and just used that as the index.

Also, for loops are probably better for this kind of thing.

btw, unary * refers to the * in *circle[curNode].setValue(...). Just take out that *, as mentioned in >>2

Next time you should probably figure these things out for yourself. Your mistake seems to show that you don't have a clear understanding of pointers and arrays in C++.

This means you suck at C++.

Lain.
