| May 1, 2020 at 21:07 | comment | added | Cliff B | Oh, what happens if you enter an invalid number ? Think about what it should do and what it does do. | |
| May 1, 2020 at 21:03 | comment | added | Cliff B | OK, so the scope problem is resolved and the program compiles. That solves this problem. If you are having more issues, they warrant a new question. One problem, one question. Also, please undo the last edit so that others that read this don't get confused. thanks. | |
| May 1, 2020 at 20:30 | comment | added | Rayray94 | I updated it, it showed that there was no error so I proceeded to the next step. It doesn't look like it recognized a scope issue. | |
| May 1, 2020 at 20:22 | comment | added | Cliff B | Still the same scope problem. 'h' is declared inside a pair of curly braces. It ceases to exist after that closing curly brace. You need to declare h before the do loop, just like you did with n. | |
| May 1, 2020 at 19:59 | comment | added | Rayray94 | I've updated with the new results. | |
| May 1, 2020 at 19:38 | comment | added | Rayray94 | Ok I'll try that, thank you. | |

That's exactly what I expected. A shadow variable occurs when you redeclare a variable. My bet is that when you try to use the variable, you're also using the int declaration with it. So, remove the later int. If this isn't it, you will need to post the current code so I can see exactly what you're doing. Also, search the forum for "shadow variable" for more info and understanding.

| May 1, 2020 at 19:11 | comment | added | Rayray94 | But I don't know how to fix it. It's saying declaration shadows a local variable now when I type make mario. | |
| May 1, 2020 at 18:57 | comment | added | Cliff B | No, it's still a scope issue. | |
| May 1, 2020 at 18:29 | comment | added | Rayray94 | I had int h before and it said the same thing. I know the image says int n but that is because I was in the process of changing h's to n's. It seems like there is some other problem with it. | |
