How do I declare this?

[danteinferno123]

I need to delcare patronIDMatch and bookIDMatch as bools, but i dont know how to do it without editing the header (which i'm prohibited of touching)

  /*******************************************
** Description: checkOutBook function
********************************************/
    std::string Library::checkOutBook(std::string pID, std::string bID) {
	bool patronIDMatch = false, bookIDMatch = false;
	int bookOnFile = -1, patronOnFile = -1;
	for (int i = 0; i<members.size(); i++) {
		if (pID == members[i]->getIdNum()) {
			patronIDMatch = true;
			patronOnFile = i;
			break;
		}
		else continue;
	}
	for (int i = 0; i<holdings.size(); i++) {
		if (bID == holdings[i]->getIdCode()) {
			bookIDMatch = true;
			bookOnFile = i;
			break;
		}
		else continue;

i tried to declare it here but for some reason it's not working. any idea why? I get the error

Library.cpp:88: error: ‘PatronIDMatch’ was not declared in this scope

Library.cpp:88: error: ‘PatronIDMatch’ was not declared in this scope

The variable in the error has a capital 'P', apart from that there doesn't seem to be enough information. Which is line 88? You can put a firstline number in your code tag [code firstline=80]

It's usually a good idea to copy / paste errors verbatim.
