Uninitialized local variable?

[Ciccioo]

I am using visual studio express 2013. It works on my machine, although I did follow your advice and now the code is only c++ and not a mix

nope, hold on i'll make it clear:

 

 

notice the headers, the functions, the variable types

#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>int main(){    char test[10];    scanf("%s", test);    if(strcmp(test, "ohoo") == 0){        // if equals    }else{        // if different    }    return 0;}

#include <iostream>#include <cstring>using namespace std;int main(){    string test;    cin >> test;    if(test == "ohoo"){        // if equals    }else{        // if different    }    return 0;}

For reading unformatted input from the keyboard you should use getline() instead. Buffer overruns are bad juju. 

 

getline() will read until there are no more characters in the buffer or buffer length is reached. Newlines are discarded.

 

For char* fixed buffers

#define BUFFER_WIDTH 10char buffer [ BUFFER_WIDTH ] ;std::cin.getline ( buffer, BUFFER_WIDTH ) ;

std::string version

std::string buffer ;std::getline ( std::cin, buffer ) ;

and for the love of all that is holy, never use scanf. Use fgets() instead. It works like getline(). sscanf or strtol/strtod (preferably these) can extract numbers if you need em.

#define BUFFER_WIDTH 10char buffer [ BUFFER_WIDTH ] ;fgets ( buffer, BUFFER_WIDTH, stdin ) ;
