I am working on the code that reads an enum. It seems to point to an address instead
Here is the code

thanks for any help

What's wrong so far is you not reading the half dozen instances which tell you about code-tags.

Just another typical 1-poster who just wades in without a care in the world and just posts as fast as they can. Doesn't give a crap about how the result looks, just so long as it's on the board....

Our Software Development forum category encompasses topics related to application programming and software design. When posting programming code, encase it in (code), (code=syntax), where 'syntax' is any language found within our Code Snippets section, or (icode), for inline code, bbcode tags. Also, to keep DaniWeb a student-friendly place to learn, don't expect quick solutions to your homework. We'll help you get started and exchange algorithm ideas, but only if you show that you're willing to put in effort as well.

what do you mean by that. I am just trying to get a hint as to why I cant get my enum to work.

A. Use the tags for code inclusion

[code] some code here

[/code]

B. Format your code for better readability - indenting, whitespace between operators and operands. You're not charged by the byte.

C. Give a clear explanation of what seems to be going wrong, and where!

D. Your title refers to the enum - but that seems to work ok for me. However, you do have a problem using some uninitialized variables, both of which I don't think you need - look at the code below from your input method:

cout << "\tEnter the amount of "<< InContrib.InContrib << "'s contribution ";
In >> InContrib.Contribution;
cout << Contribution << endl;

cout << "\tNow Enter an ID# for " << InContrib.InContrib<<" ";
In >> InContrib.IDKey;
cout << IDKey << endl;

Don't you really mean to display the .Contribution and .IDKey members of InContrib?

thanks VManes . That works.
this is my first post and I was not sure how to post my code. thanks again
