Ok i got 3 errors now, and im using Boreland C++. Teacher made me declare the variables globally, as im going to be using it throughout the functions.

First of all: It's Borland and not Boreland :P, secondly: "as im going to be using it throughout the functions", that's not a real reason to declare your variables globally as you can still pass it to the function as an argument (or pass a pointer to it to a function) :) ...

Maybe you should read a C tutorial first, it's only a suggestion, but I think it will help you a lot :) ...

How curious... your teacher requires Borland complier and to globally defined variables.
