it does not like the layout of the int command warning only initialized variables can be placed into program memory area

// List of input pins to read
const int Input_Pins [7] = {
    3,4,5,6,7};

void setup(){
    // set list of pins to input
    for (int a=0;a<7;a++){
        pinMode(Input_Pins[a],INPUT);
    }
}

void loop(){ 
    // Read the pins
    int x = readPins();

    // Act on returned value
    switch (x) {
    case 0:     // 12 O'Clock
        // statements
        break;
    case 90:    // 3 O'Clock
        // statements
        break;
    case 180:   // 6 O'Clock
        // statements

        // statements
        break;
    default:    // Any other value, do nothing

        break;
    }
}

int readPins(){

    int result = 0;    // Setup result register

    for (int a=0;a<7;a++){    // Index through array
        int x=digitalRead(Input_Pins[a]);    // Read pin state
        result=result << 1;    // Rotate result register
        result = result | x;    // OR pinstate into bit 0
    }
    return result;    // Return
