Thread: Pointer and If Statement

Hello,

I am trying to use an if statement which has a pointer in it to determine which function to use.

The original code would be -

Code:

pqueue *pq = new_bounded_pqueue(5,le_artist);

I want to use an if statement so if a user inputs a certain variable it will declare a different line of code. Here is what I have done so far -

Code:

printf("Please enter if you want to order by ascending or descending, A = Assending, D = Descending:   \n");    scanf("%c", &order);
    
    pqueue *pq;


    if (order == 'A' || order == 'a')    {
    pqueue *pq = new_bounded_pqueue(5,le_artist);
    }
    else if (order == 'D' || order == 'd')
    {
    pqueue *pq = new_bounded_pqueue(5,le_artistdec);
    }

Once compiled the program runs but as soon as I input data I return a segmentation fault.
