l-values?

[apomb]

i keep getting the error "left operand must be l-value"
in VC++ 6 ... please help

When you assign to something, that something has to be something you can assign to. Such things are often called l-values. Show me your code.

I'm at home right now, when i go back to school, ill post it, untill then, can you explain your explination again? ... all i got out of it was "show me your code"

[wtd]

say you have

code:

int foo;

"foo" is an l-value you can assign to.

code:

foo = 42;

But, if you have a function which returns an int, well you can't assign to that.

code:

int bar() { return 42; }

code:

bar() = 57;

The last doesn't work.

hmm, seems thats the thing ... ill try to rearrange the initialization of my varibles.

If you show me the code I can probably help you better, since I don't know which mistake you're making.
