Problem with stacks

[dmitri95]

Hm. Can't make it work. Can'st make it to convert decimal to binary and push it to the stack and output to the screen properly. Help

void ConvertNumber (int decimalNum, stackType<int> mystack);		//takes in the decimal number to be converted and returns the binary representation in mystack.

int number;

int main()
	ifstream infile;
	ofstream outfile;

	infile.open("inFile.txt");
	if(!infile)
	{
		cout << "Error!!! Can't open" << endl;
		return 1;
	} 

	outfile.open("outFile.txt");
	if(!outfile)
	{
		cout << "Error!!! Can't open" << endl;
		return 1;
	}

	stackType<int> mystack(50);
	stackType<int> copyStack(50);
	stackType<int> dummyStack(100);

   	mystack.initializeStack();
    
	while(infile>>number)
	{
		if (number>0)
		{
			ConvertNumber(number, mystack);
			mystack.push(number);
		}
		else
			cout << "ERROR : negative number not valid";
	}

	copyStack = mystack;  //copy stack into copyStack

    while (!mystack.isEmptyStack()) 
    { 
        cout << mystack.peek() << endl; 
        mystack.pop(); 
    } 
    
    cout << copyStack.pop() << " ";

	infile.close();
	outfile.close();


    system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

//====================================================================
 
void ConvertNumber (int decimalNum, stackType<int> stack)
{
		
	while (decimalNum > 0)
	{
		ConvertNumber(decimalNum/2, 1);
		stack.push(decimalNum%2);
	}
}

For example if I have

ConvertNumber(decimalNum/2, mystack);

the prog says that 93 main.cpp [Error] 'mystack' was not declared in this scope

[AbstractionAnon]

Line 1,23,24,25,60: Where is stackType declared?

Line 3: Why is number global?

Line 6: Missing {

Line 60: stack is passed by value. The values pushed onto it are lost when ConvertNumber exits.

the prog says that 93 main.cpp [Error] 'mystack' was not declared in this scope

There is no lline 93 in the code you posted. What is the corresponding line?
