may i know what is wrong with this code?

[denniscpp]

void bejeweled::loadGame(int& score, int& LIFE){
    reallocateMemory();
    char temp;
    int num, num2;
    ifstream outfile;
    outfile.open("board.txt");
    if(outfile.is_open()){
        for(int i=0; i<64; i++){
            outfile>>temp;
            array[i] = temp;
        }

        for(int i=0; i<64; i++){
            cout << array[i];
        }
        cout << endl;
    }
    outfile.close();
    outfile.clear();
    outfile.open("score.txt");
        score = outfile>>num;
    outfile.close();
    outfile.clear();
    outfile.open("life.txt");
        LIFE = outfile>>num2;
    cout << "Game Loaded\n";
    system("pause");
}

the score = outfile>>num and LIFE = outfile>>num2 gives this error;

error: invalid conversion from void* to int

what does the error means? how do i fix it?

What is it?

score = outfile>>num;

[denniscpp]

score and LIFE is initialize in main, it's

int score = 0;
int LIFE = 3;

The type of the expression outfile>>num is std::ifstream. You are trying to assign a value of this type to object score of type int.
Why are you using variables num and num2? What for?!

You can simply write

        outfile >> score;
        .....
        outfile >> LIFE;

ic, i understand now, thanks :)
