cant get level up system fuctioning any suggestions please

[jvjokoty]

i'm new too programming and i can't get it too add levels too track experience and increase levels

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

// Tracks Exp
int static experience = 0;
// Tracks Player Level
int static playerLevel = 0;

// Adds Exp
int static addExperience(int addExp)
{
experience = experience + addExp;
return experience;
}
// Negates Exp??
int negateExperience(int negExp)
{
experience = experience - negExp;
return experience;
}



// Program start
int main()
{
// sad attempt at adding levels based on experience
void addLevel();
{

static const int reqExp[] =
{
0, 45, 90, 150, 250, 500
};

while (experience >= reqExp[playerLevel])
++playerLevel;
return;

}
// test to track if experience and levels are working
string Questions;
int questionOne;
int questionOneAnswer = 8;

cout << "What is 5 + 3? ";
cin >> questionOne;
//if correct answer
if (questionOne == questionOneAnswer)
{
cout << "Correct!" << endl;
addExperience(90);
addLevel();
cout << "+ 45 Experience!" << endl;
cout << "Total Experience = " << experience << endl;
cout << "Player Level = " << playerLevel << endl;
}
// if wrong answer
else if(questionOne > questionOneAnswer)
{
cout << "Incorrect" << endl;
negateExperience(20);
addLevel();
cout << "-20 Experience" << endl;
cout << "Total Experience = " << experience << endl;
cout << "Player Level = " << playerLevel << endl;
}
// if wrong answer
else if(questionOne < questionOneAnswer)
{
cout << "Incorrect" << endl;
negateExperience(20);
addLevel();
cout << "-20 Experience" << endl;
cout << "Total Experience = " << experience << endl;
cout << "Player Level = " << playerLevel << endl;
}
//keeps window open
int x;
cin >> x;
return 0;
}

++playerLevel;

}

Your code does not even compile.
You can't have a local function inside another function.

thank you for your assistance it helped me complete the code to split the two im sorry for such a noob mistake XD

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

// Tracks Exp
int static experience = 0;
// Tracks Player Level
int static playerLevel = 0;

// Adds Exp
int static addExperience(int addExp)
{
experience = experience + addExp;
return experience;
}
// Negates Exp??
int negateExperience(int negExp)
{
experience = experience - negExp;
return experience;
}



// Program start
int main()
{
// sad attempt at adding levels based on experience

static const int reqExp[] =
{
0, 45, 90, 150, 250, 500
};
int static addLevel;
{
while (experience >= reqExp[playerLevel])
++playerLevel;
};


// test to track if experience and levels are working
string Questions;
int questionOne;
int questionOneAnswer = 8;

cout << "What is 5 + 3? ";
cin >> questionOne;
//if correct answer
if (questionOne == questionOneAnswer)
{
cout << "Correct!" << endl;
addExperience(90);
addLevel;
cout << "+ 45 Experience!" << endl;
cout << "Total Experience = " << experience << endl;
cout << "Player Level = " << playerLevel << endl;
}
// if wrong answer
else if(questionOne > questionOneAnswer)
{
cout << "Incorrect" << endl;
negateExperience(20);
addLevel;
cout << "-20 Experience" << endl;
cout << "Total Experience = " << experience << endl;
cout << "Player Level = " << playerLevel << endl;
}
// if wrong answer
else if(questionOne < questionOneAnswer)
{
cout << "Incorrect" << endl;
negateExperience(20);
addLevel;
cout << "-20 Experience" << endl;
cout << "Total Experience = " << experience << endl;
cout << "Player Level = " << playerLevel << endl;
}
//keeps window open
int x;
cin >> x;
return 0;
}

[Natako]

void addLevel() // Remove the semi-colon
{

static const int reqExp[] =
{
0, 45, 90, 150, 250, 500
};

while (experience >= reqExp[playerLevel])
++playerLevel;
return;

}

Move this function outside the main function.

Also, when you call addExperience(), be sure to call addLevel as well.

[Natako]

if (questionOne == questionOneAnswer)
{
cout << "Correct!" << endl;
addExperience(90);
addLevel;
cout << "+ 45 Experience!" << endl;
cout << "Total Experience = " << experience << endl;
cout << "Player Level = " << playerLevel << endl;
}

You did not call addLevel properly. The code should be :

if (questionOne == questionOneAnswer)
{
cout << "Correct!" << endl;
addExperience(90);
addLevel();
cout << "+ 45 Experience!" << endl;
cout << "Total Experience = " << experience << endl;
cout << "Player Level = " << playerLevel << endl;
}

maybe im doing something wrong but when i do
addLevel();
it creates an error
because my new method is

int static addLevel;
{
while (experience >= reqExp[playerLevel])
++playerLevel;
};
if i change it too
int static addLevel()
{ <--- error here
while (experience >= reqExp[playerLevel])
++playerLevel;
};
then it error's my while loop next too arrow
i just started coding about 2 weeks ago and i havent gotten it all down fully but i would like to believe i am progressing well considering the only code not my own was add level i had looked that up which was still wrong lol but the problem i am running into now is i created a question 2 with exp and it goes up +1 level on question 1 but not on question 2 with 200 exp

i fixed the issue and will post the code for others too see thank you for your assitance
