Variable not accessible within and if statment
- by Chris
I have a variable which holds a score for a game.
My variable is accessible and correct outside of an if statement but not inside as shown below
cout << score << endl; //works
if(!justFinished){
cout << score << endl; // doesn't work prints a large negative number
endTime = time(NULL);
ifstream highscoreFile;
highscoreFile.open("highscores.txt");
if(highscoreFile.good()){
highscoreFile.close();
}else{
std::ofstream outfile ("highscores.txt");
cout << score << endl;
outfile << score << std::endl;
outfile.close();
}
justFinished = true;
}
cout << score << endl;//works
