Problem Creating Class Objects

[[Deleted]]

I am trying to create objects of a class that have a global scope. However when I try to assign the instances of the class to the variables (the pf array), I am receiving an error "'=' - object required". What am I doing wrong?

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Classes                                                          |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class SampleClass
{
public:
   // Variables
   int Length;
   double ds[];
   
   // Constructors   
   SampleClass(void){};
   SampleClass(int length, int bufferNum)
   {
      Length=length;
      SetIndexBuffer(bufferNum,ds);
   };      
      
   void Calculate()
   {
      int bar = Bars-IndicatorCounted();
      if (bar<Length)      
         return;  
         
         double var0, var1;
         double sum = 0, sumif = 0;   
         for (int x=0;x<Length;x++)
         {
            double p1 = Close[x];
            double p2 = Close[x+1];
            
            sum+=p1*p1;
            if (p1>p2)
               sumif+=p1*p2;
         }
         
         var0=sumif;
         var1=sum;
         
         if (var1!=0)
            ds[bar]=100*var0/var1;
         else
            ds[bar]=0;
   };
};

SampleClass pf[3];

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int init()
  {

   IndicatorBuffers(1);
   SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE);
   SetIndexBuffer(0,indBuffer);
   
   pf[0] = new SampleClass(9,1);
   pf[1] = new SampleClass(19,2);
   pf[2] = new SampleClass(33,3);

   return(0);
  }

The new operator returns a descriptor (a "dynamic pointer" in their terminology), so the declaration must be SampleClass* pf[3];

In that case you do not need the default constructor either.

That did the trick. Thank you very much for your assistance!
