How to define a struct in c++?

Question

I'm try to make an payroll program in c++. In the beginning of my program I have to define a struct called EmployeeT that will store all the information about an employee together in one unit.

Then I have to take all that information and put it in an array of EmployeeT structures called employees.

I have this so far...

typedef struct 
{
  char name[];
  char title;
  double gross;
  double tax;
  double net;
}  EmployeeT;

So, What am I miss or doing wrong?

Thanks guys

What you have there is fine, except that if you want a flexible array member (char name[]), it needs to be the last field in the structure. Probably what you really want is a pointer (char *name) or a real array (char name[SOME_SIZE]), though.
