Can someone tell me why i get the error code "ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer" for lines 135 and 149

135 is for( int i = 0; index < 12; i++)
149 is for( int i = 0; index < 12; i++)

You need to make sure the line numbers match so we can look at the correct code.

Whaterver is on line 135 and 149, you are comparing an integer with a pointer, just as the message says. Did you forget to dereference the pointer?

I don't see where you are declaring / defining the variable 'index', which is used as the terminator for the two loops on the lines in question. My guess is that it is defined elsewhere (in some header or other) as a pointer...

Hmmn... I am not sure. Is this a user defined class? If so ... I dont think you can use < or > without overloading it to take your object and compare it to an integer. Do you have more to the code than what you posted?
