how to declare the static QString

Hi, I'm using QT5.5 on my computer.
I declare a static QString like below.

static QString test_item[9]
    {
        "Touch",
        "Panel",
        "Comport",
        "USB_SD",
        "LAN",
        "CAN",
        "Audio",
        "DIDO",
        "Ignition",
    };

And it will give me an error when i compile it.
Did i miss anything?
Please help!

You should have posted the error to help us finding the issue.

In this case, I would say you're missing a = sign between test_items[9] and {.

This case is also an excellent example of where you want to use QStringLiteral

And I would use a QStringList instead of a C array

I raise you std::array<QString,9>

That's indeed the best of both worlds

And I'll answer the problem :-P

remove the last , thats not supposed to be there

static QString test_item[9]
        {
            "Touch",
            "Panel",
            "Comport",
            "USB_SD",
            "LAN",
            "CAN",
            "Audio",
            "DIDO",
            "Ignition"
        };

static QString test_item[9] =
            {
                "Touch",
                "Panel",
                "Comport",
                "USB_SD",
                "LAN",
                "CAN",
                "Audio",
                "DIDO",
                "Ignition",
            };

works for me as does

static QString test_item[]
        {
            "Touch",
            "Panel",
            "Comport",
            "USB_SD",
            "LAN",
            "CAN",
            "Audio",
            "DIDO",
            "Ignition",
        };

and

static QString test_item[] =
        {
            "Touch",
            "Panel",
            "Comport",
            "USB_SD",
            "LAN",
            "CAN",
            "Audio",
            "DIDO",
            "Ignition",
        };

Might be a compiler thing. I'm using Windows mingw which came with 5.9.
