I mistyped what my code actually was. But i did do it the way the book shows and it dosen't work.
And I remembered this is an error i have been having with the compiler i am re-installing it as i type this and going to see if it fixes the problem.
thanks
something to make this easier...

i just thought this may help, cause i re-installed it and it still dosen't work.
using namespace std;#include <iostream>int main(){ int x; int y; int sol = 50; int power = 50; int def = 50; int cash = 500; bool german = false; bool american = false; bool russian = false; bool french = false; cout<<"Welcome to Axis and Allies, World War 2 Simulation."<<endl; cout<<"Please begin by choosing your country."<<endl; while (german == false && american == false && russian == false && french == false) { //check to // make sure that nothin has been selected that cout<<"1. Germany"<<endl;//pick german cout<<"2. America"<<endl;//pick american cout<<"3. Russia"<<endl;//pick russian cout<<"4. France"<<endl;//pick french cin>>x;//ask if (x == 1){ german = true; cout<<"You are German!"<<endl; sol += 55; } if (x == 2) { american = true; cout<<"You are American!"<<endl; sol += 50; } if (x == 3){ russian = true; cout<<"You are Russian!"<<endl; sol += 100; } if (x == 4){ french = true; cout<<"You are French!"<<endl; sol += 25; }; // i have tried it with and without the semi here! void stat_show () { cout<<"You have "<<sol<<" (s) remaining."<<endl; cout<<"You have "<<power<<" attack points."<<endl; cout<<"You have "<<def<<" defense points."<<endl;} } system("PAUSE"); }
I’m pretty sure re-installing the compiler will not solve your problem because “+5 x” is not c nor c++.

im having another issue (not enough i know) i keep having problems with the void things...
void stat_show(){
cout<<"You have "<<sol<<" (s) remaining."<<endl;
cout<<"You have "<<power<<" attack points."<<endl;
cout<<"You have "<<def<<" defense points."<<endl;
}
i get the following errors...
expected `;' before "void"
expected primary-expression before "void"
this is placed inside of main.
thanks
let's try
just thought this may help, cause i re-installed it and it still dosen't work.#include <iostream>#include <cstdlib>using namespace std;void show_stats (); //declaration of functionint main(){ int x; int y; int sol = 50; int power = 50; int def = 50; int cash = 500; bool german = false; bool american = false; bool russian = false; bool french = false; cout << "Welcome to Axis and Allies, World War 2 Simulation." << endl; cout << "Please begin by choosing your country." << endl; while (german == false && american == false && russian == false && french == false) { //check to make sure that nothin has been selected that cout << "1. Germany" << endl; //pick german cout << "2. America" << endl; //pick american cout << "3. Russia" << endl; //pick russian cout << "4. France" << endl; //pick french cin >> x; //ask if (x == 1){ german = true; cout << "You are German!" << endl; sol += 55; } if (x == 2) { american = true; cout << "You are American!" << endl; sol += 50; } if (x == 3){ russian = true; cout << "You are Russian!" << endl; sol += 100; } if (x == 4){ french = true; cout << "You are French!" << endl; sol += 25; } // no semi here... ever } //end while loop system("PAUSE"); //you need: #include <cstdlib> to use this. return 0; //the program needs this so don't forget it! }//function declaration always after main function. never inside.void show_stats () { cout << "You have " <<sol<< " (s) remaining." << endl; cout << "You have "<<power<<" attack points." << endl; cout << "You have " << def << " defense points." << endl;} I'm sorry I just had to correct that [smile]
And what you need is a Beginner C++ programming book.
Notice there's nothing about games in the above statement.
edit: after "correcting" the function i realized he did nothing wrong. the (lack of) spacing threw me off. so i just corrected the program instead.
This will work:
#include <iostream>using namespace std;int sol = 50;int power = 50;int def = 50;void stat_show () { cout<<"You have "<<sol<<" (s) remaining."<<endl; cout<<"You have "<<power<<" attack points."<<endl; cout<<"You have "<<def<<" defense points."<<endl;} int main(){ int x; int y; int cash = 500; bool german = false; bool american = false; bool russian = false; bool french = false; cout<<"Welcome to Axis and Allies, World War 2 Simulation."<<endl; cout<<"Please begin by choosing your country."<<endl; while (german == false && american == false && russian == false && french == false) { //check to // make sure that nothin has been selected that cout<<"1. Germany"<<endl;//pick german cout<<"2. America"<<endl;//pick american cout<<"3. Russia"<<endl;//pick russian cout<<"4. France"<<endl;//pick french cin>>x;//ask if (x == 1){ german = true; cout<<"You are German!"<<endl; sol += 55; } if (x == 2) { american = true; cout<<"You are American!"<<endl; sol += 50; } if (x == 3){ russian = true; cout<<"You are Russian!"<<endl; sol += 100; } if (x == 4){ french = true; cout<<"You are French!"<<endl; sol += 25; }; // i have tried it with and without the semi here! } system("PAUSE"); }

A) i did what you typed and it solved nothing
B) it is a programming book for begginers, the description involves writing your first programs (i have done this already).
C) I had already made the point that what i typed in in my above post WAS NOT WHAT I ACTUALLY TYPED IN. I don't understand why you seem to give off nothing but negative, while giving me no constructive critisism whatsoever.
EDIT: thank you kambiz your code is correct and i have now seen what i have done wrong!
i feel about stupid, non-stop questions. but um, i can't seem to get how to use the new function... like how do i use the stat_show i just made?

Click!
//sorry, I have fixed the link.
There is an index button if you scroll down... there you can find a lot of tutorials.
a good tip!: if you are using an IDE try debugging the program... run the program line by line and you will see how your function works. If you are using VC++ 2003 or 2005 express you can do this dy pressing F11 again and again.
