Hello,
I am working on two separate programs because I was trying one differently. I got my other program’s issue solved but now I would like to complete this one. But I am little lost on the error because the data it is complaining about is part of the class. I have included my header file code for verification.
The error is:
(126) : error C2677: binary '==' : no global operator found which takes type 'DiceGame:: Status' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
My header file:
// Craps class definition
class Dice
{
public:
int rollDice(); // function that rolls the dice and calculates the sum
};
class DiceGame
{
public:
void play(); // function play controls the details of the game
void chatter();
static bool test();
private:
enum Status { CONTINUE, WON, LOST }; // enumeration with constants that represent the game status - all caps in constants
int myPoint; // point if no win or loss on first roll
Status gameStatus; // can contain CONTINUE, WON or LOST
};
class Wagering
{
public:
static bool wageringTest(double, double);
};
My code is the following:
#include "Craps.h" // include definition of class Craps
// function that rolls the dice and calculates the sum
int Dice::rollDice()
{
// randomize random number generator using current time
srand ( (unsigned)time ( 0 ) );
// pick random die values
int die1 = 1 + rand() % 6; // first die roll
int die2 = 1 + rand() % 6; // second die roll
int sum = die1 + die2; // compute sum of die values
// display results of this roll
cout << "Player rolled " << die1 << " + " << die2 << " = " << sum << endl;
return sum; // end function rollDice
} // end function rollDice
// function play will control the details of the game
void DiceGame::play()
{
Dice rollDice;
int sumOfDice = rollDice.rollDice(); // first roll of the dice
// determine game status and point (if needed) based on first roll
switch ( sumOfDice )
{
case 7: // win with 7 on first roll
case 11: // win with 11 on first roll
gameStatus = WON;
break;
case 2: // lose with 2 on first roll
case 3: // lose with 3 on first roll
case 12: // lose with 12 on first roll
gameStatus = LOST;
break;
default: // did not win or lose, so remember point
gameStatus = CONTINUE; // game is not over
myPoint = sumOfDice; // remember the point
cout << "Point is " << myPoint << endl;
break; // optional at end of switch
} // end switch
// while game is not complete
while ( gameStatus == CONTINUE ) // not WON or LOST
{
chatter();
sumOfDice = rollDice.rollDice(); // roll dice again
// determine game status
if (sumOfDice == myPoint) // win by making point
gameStatus = WON;
else
if (sumOfDice == 7) // lose by rolling 7 before point
gameStatus = LOST;
} // end while
}
// chatter displays messages at random to create "chatter"
void DiceGame::chatter()
{
// choose message at random
