a few simple bugs in this code I wrote

[bryan6]

I'm writing a pretty basic c++ program and the same error keeps coming up "char n: redefinition."

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char n;

cout << "Enter a character: ";
char n = static_cast<int >(n + 1);
cin >> n;


cout << n;

system("pause") ;

}

Notice the following two lines in your code:

char n;
...
char n = static_cast<int>(n + 1);

Both of these lines declare n as a char. You should only declare it once. Remove "char" from the second line.

hm, I changed from

char n = static_cast<int>(n + 1);

to just

n = static_cast<int>(n + 1);

but the error is just "uninitiali zed local variable 'n' used"?

[donbock]

What do you expect the value of n to be in the computation of n+1 inside the parentheses?

[bryan6]

Supposed to be a +1 increase in the character int(s) read.

I found it, just had to trim some fat. Your tip helped though.

Should the cin line go before the static_cast line?
