error with switch case

[buriza]

I am getting the following errors
25 D:\calculat.cpp expected `(' before "op"
49 D:\calculat.cpp expected `;' before "op"
53 D:\calculat.cpp `y' undeclared (first use this function)
I partly suspect to change it to switch (op) but that gives more errors of the following
27 D:\calculat.cpp expected primary-expression before ':' token
28 D:\calculat.cpp no match for 'operator=' in 'frac3 = CFract::operator+(CFract&)(((CFract&)(&frac2)))'
in each case statement

'+' , '-' , '*' , '/' [edit]Assignment/comparison:

if(err == 1)

whet testing single chars you need to use the single quote such as

if (op == '+')   // this is okay

if (op == +)  // this is not okay

also when you are testing conditions you are using a single =. testing equality in c++ is done using ==

if (foo == boo)  // testing if foo equals boo

if (foo = boo)  //  makes foo equal to boo

great got everything fixed except for this

cout << "Try another (y,n)? " << endl;             
cin >> choice;
}while (tolower(choice) == y);

which is saying y is undeclared. The objective is if the user inputs y to do the loop again. Do I need to declare y somewhere or do I have the syntax wrong?

you need to use the single quotes for testing charectures. 'y'
