Scope problem

[Shadowwoelf]

I created a function and declared int x=0; at the very top. then later on x is in a nested for loop but for some reason the x isn't being changed as if I had another x in the local scope.

x=0;
	for(count=0; count<3; count++){

		for(int N=start; N==start+24; N++){
			Accounts->Name[N]=buff[N];
			x++;
		}
		x+=3;
		cout<<x<<endl;

		for(z=x; z==start+28; z++){
			A[z]=buff[z];
			cout<<A[z]<<endl;
			if(z==4){
				Accounts->Acc_Number=atoi(A);
				cout<<'\t'<<Accounts->Acc_Number;
			}
		}
		x+=3;

		for(int r=z; r==start+45; r++){
			Accounts->Acc_Balance=buff[x];
			start=r;
		}
		Accounts++;
	}

Your loops will never run. A for loop only runs while the middle expression evaluates to true. But, for example, if you initialize N to start, it cannot be true that N == start+24.
