I am using the dev c++ and i am getting the error ( C++98 'array' must be initialized by constructor)

Question

I am using the Dev c++ application for writing the code in C/C++. When I used the Veter iterator. For, Iterating the array value. Then I am getting this one error. "[Error] in C++98 'array' must be initialized by constructor, not by '{...}'. Also, I am using Window 10.

Code :-

vector<int> array = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

[Warning]:- extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 — Amar Kumar, Aug 07 '18 at 07:19
also same error will come. By using this one vector array{1,2,3,4,5}; — Amar Kumar, Aug 07 '18 at 07:19
how to add c++11. I will just install and start write the code — Amar Kumar, Aug 07 '18 at 07:20
You need to pass `-std=c++11` as an argument to the compiler. See your IDE's documentation for how to do that. — molbdnilo, Aug 07 '18 at 07:20

You are trying to use the so called initializer_list (take a look here if you do not know what they are) which is a way of costructing objects introduced by c++11.

Hence you need to tell your compiler that you want to use c++11 by passing the argument -std=c++11 to the compiler itself.

Take a look at this question to see how to do it.

You must change the compiler option to C++11. There is a similar question here: How to change mode from c++98 mode in Dev-C++ to a mode that supports C++0x (range based for)?
