Hello Experts!!

Here an easy question. If I initialize the dynamic allocated q global which
means before main I get a lot of compilation error.
I just want to know why I can't do that.

I can assign an integer to tal and I can assign the string "this is a test"
to the name field before the main without any problem.
If I instead move the initialize of q to the main part it works.

int tal = 5;
char namn[] = "this is a test";

int *q = new int[5];
q[0] = 0;
q[1] = 1;
q[2] = 2;
q[3] = 3;
q[4] = 4;

int main()
{
    return 0;
}
