Variable not accessible within an 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
score is declared at the top of the main.cpp and calculated in the display function which also contains the code 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
