declaring an array in a static class

I want to have an array of 12 doubles that I can use in a static class.

I first tried:
(the numbers are just placeholders at the moment)

class I2C
	{
		public:
		  I2C() 
		  { };
		  static void begin();
		  static int getBearing(char *pitch,char *roll);

		  static const double  adjustReading[12]={0.0,0.1,0.2,0.3,
                                                  0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,
                                                  0.8,0.9,0.10,0.11};
	 
		  static const double  magneticAdjustment = -1.4666667;
		  
	};

but it objected to the const

so then I tried

class I2C
	{
		public:
		  I2C() 
		  {
                    adjustReading[0]= 0.0;
                     etc
                     etc
                    adjustReading[11]= 0.11;
                  };
		  static void begin();
		  static int getBearing(char *pitch,char *roll);

		  static double  adjustReading[12];
	 
		  static const double  magneticAdjustment = -1.4666667;
		  
	};

It then objects to using adjustReading in the getBearing function
It says : undefined reference to `I2C::adjustReading'

int I2C::getBearing(char *p,char *r)
     {

         etc
         etc 

         double var =  adjustReading[3];

         etc
         etc
    
   
  }

What am I doing wrong?

Alan

but it objected to the const

What did? In what (concrete) way?

What am I doing wrong?

Posting incomplete code. Mixing declarations and implementations in the same file. Probably other stuff.

I was trying to remove the extraneous material. I am sorry if that was not as good thing to do. Here are the unadulterated files and the errors

Inititial try declaring a static const double array

All static elements must be initialised, as they are not a per-instance thing ( static ) you cannot use the constructor ( initialiser list ):

struct Foo{
  static char Array[ 15 ];
  static int Value;
};

Initiailse values:

char Foo::Array[];
//Or
//char Foo::Array[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };

int Foo::Value = 44;

I have "solved" the problem by moving the delaraton of the array into the function and making it a const.

this works but I still do not undefstand why the above did not work

the I2C.C file is the following:

I hope you meant "the I2C.cpp file...".

To the original question -

// Header File

class I2C
{
public:
    I2C() 
    {   }

    static void begin();
    static int getBearing(char *pitch,char *roll);
    static const double  adjustReading[12];

    static const double  magneticAdjustment = -1.4666667;
};
// Implementation File

const double  I2C::adjustReading[12] =
{
      0.00, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30
    , 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70
    , 0.80, 0.90, 0.10, 0.11
};
