Getting my char command to work!!!

[CumQuaT]

I put in the following code.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#define max 30


char choice(max);
int main()
{
cout << "(L)eft or (R)ight?" << endl;
cin >> choice;

return 0;
}

And I keep getting the error message

Cannot change from CHAR(30) to CHAR (5)

What the hell is going on!!!???

What's your compiler? I tried compiling it in Dev C++ 4.0 and it compiled with no errors. The problem may lie within your compiler, then again (as usual) I could be wrong...

...I thought of a way that *may* solve the problem. try this variations or your code (not that I can see anything wrong with your current code at the moment)...

#include <iostream.h> 
#include <string.h> 
#include <ctype.h> 

int main()
{
int MAX = 30;
char choice(max);  
cout << "(L)eft or (R)ight?" << endl; 
cin >> choice; 

return 0; 
}

If choice is supposed to be a charater array rather than a function (which I presume is the case) then it should be declared like this -

char choice[max];

missed that error, though how simple it is....
