I changer the variables of the 2nd for loop to 'y' instead of 'x'

worked


/solved

Your "int x" in the first for loop is only visible in the head and body of that loop. So the next loop needs to also be "int x" not just "x". Alternatively, you could define "int x;" before the first loop where it will be visible to both.

To explain the references to -fpermissive in the error messages .....

In older versions of C++ (while the C++ standard was in draft, before ratification), x was within the scope of the containing block (i.e. the main() function in your example), not just for for() statement. There is a fair body of ancient production code that relies on such things.
