如何修复“预期的主要表达式”错误

Question

I'm working on a project in our programming class which requires me to make an inventory system. There is an error in the code in line 243 that gives weird errors when I compile it.

Line 243 beneath in the code is

while(inventory>>rec.prodtype>>rec.menutype>>rec.prodnum

Answer 1

In find_name() function:

while(inventory>>rec.prodtype>>rec.menutype>>rec.prodnum
           >>rec.prodname>>rec.prodprice>>rec.quantity)

You dont declare what inventory is in this function. Did you mean to open a file in a variable called inventory like you did in the other functions?

The reason the compiler is giving weird errors is you declared a type called inventory and so not seeing a local variable called inventory it assumes you're using the type which makes no sense in the context of the above line and the compiler gets confused and gives a fairly obscure error.
