Need help on my coding...

jae0014 (41)
Write a program to validate a password using the following rules:
• The password must be at least six characters in length
• It must contain at least one uppercase letter.
• It must contain at least one lowercase letter.
• It must contain at least one digit (0-9).
must contain this below
int validate(string pw);
//Validates password and returns a code, 0 if valid
// and 1 through 15 indicating the reason or combination of
// reasons that it is invalid
string findReason(int code);
// Accepts a reason code and returns a string indicating
// that it was valid or the reason why it wasn’t.
void display(string result);
//Accepts a string indicating the status of the password
//and displays it.

I get error num2 is used without being initialized and if you guys could, fix my coding if i did something wrong thank you....

Please edit your post and use code tags - http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/jEywvCM9/

And Ask a specific question. What do you need help with exactly, I cant answer a question that has not been asked.

then initialize it when declaring it ;)
int number = 0;

Note, this should only be a warning so you should still be able to compile the programm and run it.
