By three today I need this problem solved!

For a class I''m suppost to write a program with a class set up like this\ class machine{ typedef void (machine::*fnctptr)(); fnctptr parcerarray[commands]; //all other crap I don''t feel like writing }; Now I''m suppost to access an element of the array in a method of the class this->*(parcerarray)();//I get identifier error,also how teach told me to do it. parcerarray();//I get non-function error machine::parcerarray();//same as above, I tried all arrangments of typecasting </source> What do I do? </i>

If you have an array of function pointers and you want to call a function based on an index, you should use something like:

    (function_pointer_array[ index ])( my_param );    

if ''parcearray'' is a member of ''machine'' you don''t need ''machine::'' or ''this->'' to access it within ''class machine''.
