    Compile problems

    I'm using Dev-C++, when I compile I get these errors:

    [Warning] In function:
    ISO C++
    ISO C++

    It says the wrong code are
    Code:
    if(choice == 'R' || choice == 'r')
    What's wrong? ><

    Nothing that I can see in that line of code, but sometimes the line number it gives you in the error message is only the line number on which it noticed there was a problem. It's not necesarily where you made the mistake. Perhaps post some more of your code?

    Oks.......I've begun to make a text game, here's the code
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    void menu ()
    {
        cout << "\n\n--Menu--";
        cout << "\n[A]ttack" << endl;
        cout << "[S]pell" << endl;
        cout << "[T]alk" << endl;
        cout << "[R]eturn to village" << endl;
        cin.getline(choice, 5);
        if(choice == 'r' || choice == 'R')
        {
            if(pos==1)
            {
                cout << "You are already in town idiot.";
            }
        }
    }
    int main ()
    {
        /*  Variables    */
        char pname[80];    
        int pos = 1;
        char choice[5];
        char gname[] = "Unknown Adventures!!"; /* better name later :-)*/
        char pclass[50];
        int exp;
        int gold;
        
        /*    Begin    */
        
        cout << "Whats your name, hero?" << endl;
        cin.getline(pname, 80);
        cout << "Hello " << pname << ", and welcome to " << gname;
        Sleep(1500);
        cout << "\nWhat do you want to be?" << endl;
        cout << "Elf, Warrior, Valkyrie, Mage\n";
        cin.getline(pclass, 50);
        cout << "\n\nHello stranger.";
        cout << "\nOur forest is filled with evil monsters";
        cout << "\nKill them and I will bring you a reward.";
        menu ();
        Sleep(20000);
    }

    The variable choice has not been defined in menu(), and looks more like a string than a character.

    You've defined choice as an array of chars, and you're testing it as a single char. If you want to test the first char from choice you'd need to call it choice[0]. If you wanted to work with string, then you'd need to implement the special functions.

    Also (and this is a comparitively minor problem) I'm not sure if choice is global - but I can never remember all the rules about that. If I want something global I make it as global as I can get it.

    Edited:
    cin.getline (choice, 0);
    void menu (char choice[0])
    char choice[0];
