Compiling C++ question

[Tibiamakers]

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char* accion;
                cout << "Despiertas en una habitación, ves una puerta, un armario, y una ventana. Que quieres hacer? \n" << endl;
                cin >> accion;
switch(accion)
.
.
.

It throws me the error that accion isn't a integer, so what I should change to use switch with more than a charater? maybe int main?

I just started to learn c++ :$

Been a while since I fiddled around with C++, but try

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char* accion;
                cout << "Despiertas en una habitación, ves una puerta, un armario, y una ventana. Que quieres hacer? \n" << endl;
                cin >> accion;
               int stringToInt = strtol(accion);
switch(stringToInt)
.
.

You can't. It's a non-standard.

can you put the entire code?, "isn't a integer" means that the function that you make does not return an integer (int) value, maybe if you put

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

void main()
{
    char* accion;
                cout << "Despiertas en una habitación, ves una puerta, un armario, y una ventana. Que quieres hacer? \n" << endl;
                cin >> accion;
switch(accion)
.
.
.

if you put the entire code i will see what type of value its returns

 

[Tibiamakers]

the entire code

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char* accion;
                cout << "Despiertas en una habitación, ves una puerta, un armario, y una ventana. ¿Qué quieres hacer? \n" << endl;
                cin >> accion;
switch(accion)
{
   case 'abrir armario':
                 cout << "Abres el armario, ves una espada, y ropa. ¿Qué quieres hacer? \n" << endl;
                 char* armarioabiertohabitacion;
                 cin >> armarioabiertohabitacion;
            
switch(armarioabiertohabitacion)
{
   case 'coger espada':
              cout << "Has obtenido una espada y la has envainado. \n";
              cout << "Ves una puerta y una ventana, ¿Qué quieres hacer? \n" << endl;
              }
              break;
default:
        cout << "Error de sintaxis \n" << endl;
}

 getch();
    return 0;
}

    char* accion;
                cout << "Despiertas en una habitación, ves una puerta, un armario, y una ventana. ¿Qué quieres hacer? \n" << endl;

              }
              break;
default:
        cout << "Error de sintaxis \n" << endl;
}

 getch();
    return 0;
}

Like I said: you can't, It's a non-standard. Check my post above, I linked the C++ standard as well. ;_;

so, an alternative will be make if statements, right?

You don't have to use switch and if statements. Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <map>

typedef void (*Function)(void);

int main()
{
	char* action;
	std::cout << "Test, test, test, test .." << std::endl;
	std::cin >> action;
	//action = "test";
	
	std::map<char*, Function> actions;
	actions["test"] = []() { std::cout << "test1" << std::endl; };

	auto it = actions.find(action);
	if (it != actions.end())
		it->second();

	return 0;
}

Sn4ake that too much for me haha, I started yesterday learning c++ so if you can explain the code, I'd appreciate it

Oh, sorry. Here is simple version: Ideone.com | Online IDE & Debugging Tool >> C/C++, Java, PHP, Python, Perl and 40+ compilers and intepreters

#include <iostream> 

int main() 
{ 
    int action; 
    std::cout << "Actions" << std::endl; 
    std::cout << "1. test1, test2" << std::endl; 
    std::cout << "2. test3, test4" << std::endl; 
    std::cin >> action; 
    //action = 1; 
     
    switch (action)
	{
		case 1:
			std::cout << "test1, test2" << std::endl; 
			break;
			
		case 2:
			std::cout << "test2, test3" << std::endl; 
			break;
		
		default:
			std::cout << "invalid" << std::endl; 
	}

    return 0; 
}
