Illigeal digits 08 & 09...why?
I am in the process of self-teaching C++ using a complex Lotto Program for exercise work. I keep getting an error in one section stating that I've used an illegal digit "08" & "09" and I do not know why. My program is:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <ios>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
/* =========================================================================================================================== */
Start:
char z;
cout << "For Florida MegaMillion press #1" << endl << endl;
cout << "For Florida Lotto press #2" << endl << endl;
cout << "For National Power-Ball press #3" << endl << endl;
cout << "To start over press #4" << endl << endl;
cin >> z;
if (z == 1)
{
cout << "You have chosen to play Florida's MegaMillion Lotto," << endl << endl;
goto MegaMillion;
}
else
if (z == 2)
{
cout << "You have chosen to play the Florida Lotto." << endl << endl;
goto FloridaLotto;
}
else
if (z == 3)
{
cout << "You have chosen to play the National Power-Ball Lotto," << endl << endl;
goto PowerBall;
}
else
if (z == 4) goto Start;
else
if (z != 1 && z != 2 && z != 3 && z != 4)
{
cout << "You have chosen to end the program." << endl << endl;
return 0;
}
/* ================================================================================================================================*/
MegaMillion:
char x;
char str [6];
#define Anydate(); // Declare / define the variable Anydate.
#define date
#define number
/*
{
Anydate();
Anydate(string,[6]);
~Anydate();
string date;
int number[6];
};
Anydate=Anydate(string thatdate, int thatnumber[6]);
{
date=thatdate;
for(int i=0;i!=6;i++);
number[i]=thatnumber[i];
}
Anydate=Anydate();
Anydate=~Anydate();
