order of execution

So you mean that (my last-most post's code) is not valid?

**CrissyCrisCris** · 08-13-2009

Code:

while(char c = cin.get() != 'q')

You can hot have declare a variable in there. You are trying to declare c in there with char.

Code:

char c;
while((c = cin.get()) != 'q')

You have to declare the variable outside.

Yes you can. That's syntactically correct code. You could have at least tried it before expounding false things.

I believe CrissyCrisCris did?

What complier does your book tell you to use? In Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) you can not declare a variable inside the while's condition like that.
