Need an explanation

[RSTR]

Could someone please tell me what this means?:

error C2040: 'Status' : 'int (void)' differs in levels of indirection from 'int'

Thankyou

Are you trying to use the extern keyword? If so this probably means that one of your declarations is a pointer and the other one isn't.

somefile.h

int *number;

anotherfile.cpp

extern int number; //wrong
extern int *number; //right

This may also apply to a function. I just had this exact same error a few minutes ago and that's what fixed it.

that's the thing, though, I'm not using any pointers at all.
just variables.

I have a class set up in a header file, and all I did was include it in a cpp file, and it didn't.
