//I've got an example in a C++ book that is given without context.
//I'm trying to put it in different ways, but Visual Studio 2015 compiler gives "ugh" in any of my attempts
//Is it possible there is a mistake somewhere?
//
// This is the example as is:
//struct complex{
//  float real, im;
//} compl [2][3] = {
//  { { 1,1 },{ 1,1 },{ 1,1 } },
//  { { 2,2 },{ 2,2 },{ 2,2 } }
//};

// this is what I am doing:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

struct complex{
    float real, im;
} compl [2][3] = {           //error: expected an ;
    { {1,1}, {1,1}, {1,1} },
    { {2,2}, {2,2}, {2,2} }
};


int main() {

    struct complex {
        float real, im;
    } compl [2][3] = {           //error: expected an ;  && error: expected an identifier
        { { 1,1 },{ 1,1 },{ 1,1 } },
        { { 2,2 },{ 2,2 },{ 2,2 } }
