problem with declaring

[bcurry1]

I'm having a few problems with this, it's a program to get a list of words and have a running total then also sort them different ways. my 1st problem is I'm not sure how to declare my tag when its with one of the words.
problem number 2) is when I compile/run, before i put the swap in, Windows would say there was an error and that it was searching for a solution but it doesn't find any so it closes out my program.
I'd be very appreciative if someone would help me out.
thanks

these are the errors i'm getting

Please put your code in [ code ] [/ code ] tags (No Spaces).

Personally, I think you are going about this all wrong. What is the function that this application must achieve?

If you need to count how many times each word appears I would use a map.
e.g.

int main() {

 map<string, int> mWordList;

 map["hello"]++;
 map["hello"]++;
 map["world"]++;

 map<string, int>::iterator mPtr = mWordList.begin();
 while (mPtr != mWordList.end()) {
  cout << (*mPtr).first << "was entered" << (*mPtr).second << " times" << endl;
  mPtr++;
 }
}

Otherwise, I would be storing them in a vector.

int main() {

 vector<string> vWordList;
 vWordList.push_back("hello");
 vWordList.push_back("hello");
 vWordList.push_back("World");

 cout << "Number of words: " << (int)vWordList.size(); << endl;
 // This will print out 3
}

well thanks but its for a class and we're not allowed to do it like that, but i still don't understand why the compiler is giving no errors but windows is telling me that its not working right

nevermind I think i found another way
