Can someone explain?

Question

In my code I'll try to have a string variable into switch. Because this is imposible I made a pointer like this so I can put it as integer.

int *pntr_hypo
pntr_hypo = &hypo

and then compiler shows me an error:

error: expected initializer before 'pntr_hypo'

I tried to initialise it but I'm not sure what I should do.

Can you help me?

Answer 1

variable hypo must be defined. every line finish with semicolon

int hypo;
int* pntr_hypo;
pntr_hypo = &hypo;

I publish this code in the Code Playground as "pointer c plus plus"

Answer 2

hypo is string

Answer 3

since hypo is a string, use:

string hypo;
string *hypo_ptr;
hypo_ptr = &hypo;

Answer 4

The problem is into switch. It doesn't accept it.

Answer 5

As I know you can't put string variable in switch
