Error:Type 'array' may not be defined here in C++ code

Question

When I run the following C++ code, got the compilation error like- Type 'array' may not be defined here in line 17.

#include<iostream.h>
class array
{
char a[10][10];
public:
array()
{
   a[10][10]='h';
}
void print()
{
     cout<<(a[0]==*a)&&(*a==0[a]);``
}
 }
 main()
{
array ob;
ob.print();

 }

I tried my best to resolve this error, but not succeeded, please suggest the solution. Thanks in advance.

Is that `\`\`` at the end of the `cout` line in your actual code, or did this happen trying to format the code on SO? — jwueller, Dec 10 '13 at 19:24
In the `array` constructor, you are accessing past the array. Array indices are zero based, meaning they go from 0 to (capacity - 1). — Thomas Matthews, Dec 10 '13 at 19:25
Please, do a favour to yourself and read a [decent book](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list?rq=1) instead of some half-baked tutorials. This is terrible. — Sceptical Jule, Dec 10 '13 at 19:27

You forgot the trailing ; after your class definition and to declare int as the return type for main.

Also, the correct header to include is <iostream>, not <iostream.h>.

It should be mentioned that a plain `cout` is not going to work when using the correct `` header, since it is namespaced under `std`. – jwueller Dec 10 '13 at 19:22
@elusive ah, that too :) – Luchian Grigore Dec 10 '13 at 19:23

And `a[10][10]='h';` is out of bounds – Praetorian Dec 10 '13 at 19:23
And if main returns int, it should return an int – Leeor Dec 10 '13 at 19:42
@Leeor `main` returns 0 by default if no return value is specified. – Luchian Grigore Dec 10 '13 at 21:14
