c++: Error: this declaration has no storage class or type specifier

Question

Hello I'm pretty new to coding and have started with my first bigger project just to learn faster.
When I trying too allocate memory the error "this declaration has no storage class or type specifier" in the tool tip and then it wont compile.

#ifndef MAP_H
#define MAP_H
#include "Headers.h"
#include "Player.h"

class Player;
class Map
{
public:
    Map();
    Player *player; 
    player = new Player;

    std::vector <std::string> levelData;

    void Draw();
    void Create();
    void Open();
    void Save();
};

#endif

Answer 1

Player *player; 
player = new Player;

is not right. You cannot have a statement like the second line above in the middle of a class definition.

If you have a C++11 compliant compiler, you can use:

Player *player = new Player;

Ideally, you should initialize player in the constructor of Map . That will allow you to avoid #include ing "Player.h" in "Map.h".

Also, you should add

#include <vector>
#include <string>

since you are using

std::vector <std::string> levelData;
