Switch-Cases and enums

exit isn't a statement in C/C++. In the code Insectoid posted, it's a boolean variable initialized in the initializer part of the for loop.

Note that 'exit' can also refer to the exit() method (available on Unix/Linux systems, I don't know about Windows). However, method invocations always have round brackets attached in C/C++, which means that referring to 'exit' without '()' must be referring to a variable.

Oh I see... what does ! do that's beside exit in the for loop?

code:

for (bool exit = false; !exit;){ switch (something){ case 1: exit = true; break; } }

! is the unary not operator. With booleans, it flips the value: true becomes false, false becomes true.

If you're going to learn C++, you really need to read a book that will take you through all of this.

Well.. I started studying them on the internet
I really gotta learn all those lol, just some new stuff I learned can shorten my code a lot, and make it easier to read.
