Option undeclared?

When I compile my script using Dev-C++, they say that on line 38 ( if(strcmp(option, "1") == 0) ), 'option' is undeclared, but i am sure it is already declared.

Code:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

#include <string>


int main(void)
{
    char insane[100];
std::string strinsane = "";


    cout<<"\t### m4 installer v0.1 ###";
    cout<<"\n";
    cout<<"\t### (c) Microsoft 2002 ###";
    cout<<"\n";
  cout<<"\t### Testers: DO NOT GIVE THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS OR    ANYBODY ELSE ###";
    cout<<"\n";
    cout<<"\t### Press enter to begin. ###";

  cin.getline(insane, sizeof insane, '\n');
 
 

     
    if(strcmp(insane, "insanityclownZ") == 0)
    {
        cout<<"WTF ! How did you know?\n";
        cout<<"If you read the source code you die! insanityclownz";
    }
    else
    {
    cout<<"\t## 1. Download Longhorn M4 from MS ##\n";
    cout<<"\t## 2. Exit ##\n";
    cout<<"Select an option: ";
    int option;
    cin>>option;
    }
    if(strcmp(option, "1") == 0)
    {
        std::string strTurkey = "Happy Turkey Day! insanityclownZ\n";
        cout<<"## Downloading m4 ! ##";
        cout<<strTurkey;
     
    }
    else if(strcmp(option, "2") == 0)
    {
        cout<<"Billy says bye !\n";
       
    }
   
    else
    {
        cout<<"Invalid option dumbass! ";
    }
   
       
       


   
   
   
 
   
cin.get();
cin.get();
    return 0;
}

Code:

---

else
{
  int option; // option is declared inside this else block
} // option goes out of scope here, option is no more

if(strcmp(option, "1") == 0) // option does not exist here.

So what do I do to continue making it exist?


I must put if inside the else?


I put it in there, and now I get a 43 C:\Documents and Settings\Reuben\My Documents\razor.cpp
passing `int' to argument 1 of `strcmp(const char *, const char *)' lacks a cast
error

make 'option' a char (or char array)

Thanks alot again. Now if I want Invalid option to show when that person press enter, what do I put?

if you move option to be local to main() and not an if/else and if you make option a char array, everything should work as it is. If you want to do something else, you will need to be more specific/descriptive of the goal.

Well, I want it to be like this:


When someone press enter, without pressing any letters, I want it to print "Invalid". I don't want it to close either.

Are there any exit commands too?
