Why doesn's this compile?

[andrewwiles1994]

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <time.h>

int rollDice();

int main ()
{
enum Status{CONTINUE, WON, LOST};
int sum, myPoint;
Status gameStatus;

srand(time(NULL));
sum=rollDice();

switch(sum)
{
case 7: case 11:
gameStatus=WON;
break;

case 2: case 3: case 12:
gameStatus=LOST;
break;

default:
gameStatus=CONTINUE;
myPoint=sum;
cout << "My point is "<<myPoint<<endl;
break;
}

while(gameStatus==CONTINUE)
{
sum=rollDice();

if(sum==myPoint)
gameStatus=WON;
else
if(sum==7)
gameStatus=LOST;
}

if(gameStatus=WON)
cout<<"Player won!"<<endl;
else
cout<<"Player lost!"<<endl;
}

There is no header called iomanip.h, it should be just iomanip

cout and endl is located inside the std namespace so you have to specify by writing std::cout, or using the using directive.

if(gameStatus=WON) should be if(gameStatus==WON).

You also have to define the function rollDice().

Can you say it more clearly, like how to define the function rollDice()?

I'm using gcc on a mac. It reports error if I write "iomanip", correct if I write "iomanip.h".

Thank you Peter.

[Peter87]

By defining rollDice() I mean that you should implement the function

int rollDice()
{
	return 0; // You probably want to do something more complicated in your real code
}

Are you using a very old version of gcc?

[andrewwiles1994]

I am using the compatible version of gcc for mac os 10.6.8.
