user inputing values of an array

[marcus]

I want to write a program which allows a user to enter the values of an array using a for loop, however I am getting an error which says "name lookup of x changed for ISO 'for' scoping"
i am new to C++ (two weeks) and i have NO clue what this means. here is my code

code:

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int array[3]; int main() {     for (int x = 0 ; x <=2 ; x++)     cout <<"Enter an integer ==> ";     cin >> array[x]; }

thanks in advance for any help[syntax=""][/syntax][syntax=""][/syntax]

code:

The problem is that for line

code:

cin >> array[x];

variable x does not exist (it was never declared in the current scope).
