I get the following 4 errors,

char input_digit[LENGTH];

This is a declaration Syntax Error.

cin.getline(input_digit,LENGTH);

This one is 'Undefined Symbol 'input_digit''

cin.getline(input_digit,LENGTH);

This one is 'Could not find a match for 'istream::getline(undefined,const int)'

if (key_pressed == "Y" || key_pressed == 'y')

and the last error is 'Cannot Convert 'Char' to 'Char *'.

I'm pretty bad at programming and I can't really understand whats wrong with the code here, I suspect its something obvious though.

Thanks in advanced,
and Hello all on DaniWeb.

Your first error is, I think, because you have declared LENGTH with automatic scope. That is it is on the stack, since it is on the stack and gets created when the function is entered it is not a true constant but a variable and so can't be used for array declaration.

try declaring LENGTH static or at global scope.

Errors 2 and 3 are a direct consequence of error 1, ignore them if you fix 1 they will go away.

Error 4, you have "Y" in the if statment instead of 'Y'. You have 'y' correct already.

If this is your exact code then to begin with you should look for missing semi colons.

I wonder what you are using to compile this?!?

Line 59 is missing the ending semicolon, so ..

float number ;

Fixing that should take care of the first three errors.
Note that the variable LENGTH is OK as is, because it is const , so you don't have to change it in any way.

[EDIT]
As implied/suggested both above and below, I also suggest that you switch to a modern compiler, rather sooner than later.

Judging from the outdated/non-standard headers, void main(), clrscr() my guess is Turbo c++.

@OP you (really) need to update your software to something from the last decade. Something like code::blocks which is free,small & easy. Be sure to download the version with the MinGW compiler combined.
