Do you see those strange characters in the equation: "−"? You need to get rid of them, replaced with whatever mathematical operator was meant to be there.

ightTimer = 0; //reset timerLooks like it might be a typo in the program that you have not posted. Is the variable really named ightTimer ? If so, where is it declared ?

Google "C++ tutorial". Do a C++ tutorial.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

Please read the first post in any forum entitled how to use this forum.

It will be formatted in a scrolling window that makes it easier to read.

Thanks.. Tom... :slight_smile:
