Expected Primary Expression before error.

[specter97]

I keep getting a expected primary expression on the lines with the player position function and the cin >> position. I have read that this is due to missing semicolons or brackets but am not sure as to where the problem is. I have tried commenting out this code from the complete program and it compiled with no issues whatsoever. Any help would be most appreciated by a beginner.

  while (winner == "No")
{
    if (repeat2 == "No")
    {
        cout << "Player 1 choose a square";
        cin >> position;
        player1_position(position);
    }
    else if(repeat1 == "No")
    {
    cout << "Player 2 choose a square";
    cin >> position;
    player2_position(position);
    }
}

Have you declared position anywhere?

[specter97]

Yes this is only part of the program. I have declared the variable "position" as an integer (int) type and it is a global variable declared at the start of the program after using namespace std;.
