hi im trying to do Bjarne Stroustrup's exercise (calculator), it worked well but when im trying to add new function in the calculator (add new variable) it has bugs..
its not complete yet, because when i checked a bit, after i add string "name" inside Token class, it gives no answer ("nan"). then i checked and test each functions, it seems the problem is in the primary() function, it doesn't return what it should does, i already check using std::cout inside the switch statement(it gives the right token's value), but when it returns the value to the term() function (to the double left specificly, and yes i checked left with std::cout and i found the that primary function return the wrong value) the valuue is "nan", i cant figure out why this goes wrong , anyone can help?
here's the code :

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cctype>
#include "std_lib_facilities.h"


const char number = '8';
const char print = ';';
const char quit = 'q';

    char kind;
    double value;
    string name;

    Token(char k, string n)
    {
        kind = k;
        name = n;
    }

    Token(char k, double v)
    {
        kind = k;
        value = v;
    }
    Token(char k)
    {
        kind = k;
        value = 0;
    }
    Token(double v)
    {
        kind = number;
        value = 0;
    }
    Token()
    {
        kind = number;
        value = 0;

its not complete yet, because everytime i make a bit change, i always check.
if i remove string name from the class Token , the calculator works well.

One thing to point out is that I don't see the <string> header being included nor do is see std:: preceding string since you are not using a using statement.

guys i just tried to copy and paste the codes into visual c++ 2010, and it works!
anyone knows why my primary() function returns the wrong value(returns "nan) when im using codeblocks??
thx for your patience
