"=" != "=="

You might want to check the rest of your code for the same mistake. It's an easy one to make and sometimes will compile but not behave the way you would like (like another part of your code).

stack.top()= word

should be

stack.top()==word

= is used for assignment

stack.top()= word

should be

stack.top()==word

= is used for assignment

I prefer my way of saying it, but same thing.:)

oh, I didn't notice that we posted at the same time. haha
