Help with loop

[ryan7136]

I am trying to write a while loop on a calculator in c++. its my first real program in c++. when i use the calculator, it works and loops, but when i type exit(which sets x to 1), the calculator keeps going. Here is the code: http://pastebin.com/DaZaRNjh

if(oper == "exit"){
        int x = 12;
        }

x is a local variable that goes out of scope immediately.

Should be:

if(oper == "exit"){
        x = 12;
        }

By the way, main returns int, not void.
