Thread: strange error int

here is my code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "genlib.h"
#include "simpio.h"
#define pi 3.14
int main() {
string whatShape;
printf("enter the shape: ");
whatShape = GetLine();
if (whatShape == "box") 
{
	int width, length, height, ansr;
	printf("enter width: ");
	width = GetInteger();
	printf("enter height: ");
	height = GetInteger;
	printf("enter length: ");
	length = GetInteger;
	ansr = height * length * width;
	printf("The voulme of the box is: %d ", ansr);
}
if (whatShape == "cube") 
{
	int side, ansr;
	printf("enter the length of a side: ");
	side = GetInteger();
	ansr = side * side * side;
	printf("The volume of the cube is: %d", ansr);
}
if (whatShape == "cylinder") 
{
	double radius, radiussquared, height, ansr;
	printf("enter the height: ");
	height = GetInteger();
	height = (double)height;
	printf("enter the radius: ");
	radius = GetInteger();
	radiussquared = radius * radius;
	radiussquared = (double)radiussquared;
	ansr = radiussquared * height * pi;
	printf("The volume of the cylinder is: %d", ansr);
}
else printf("that is not a box, cude, or cylinder");
}

error

Code:

: error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'int (__cdecl *)(void)' to 'int'
        There is no context in which this conversion is possible

i have no idea what to do to fix this, any help would be greatly appreciated

>> height = GetInteger();

gg

thanx

now i have worked it out a little but im getting a strange error here:

Code:

if (StringEqual(whatShape, "cylinder")) 
{
	double radius, radiussquared, height, ansr, pi;
	int radius1, height1;
	pi = 3.14;
	printf("enter the height: ");
	height1 = GetInteger();
	height = (double)height1;
	printf("enter the radius: ");
	radius1 = GetInteger();
	radius = (double)radius1;
	radiussquared = radius * radius;
	radiussquared = (double)radiussquared;
	ansr = radiussquared * height * pi;
	printf("The volume of the cylinder is: %d\n", ansr);
}

with height 3 and radius 3 i get this answer: -2061584302

it is c++, the first code posted contained quite a few errors, ive had to add <string> thank you for the help.
