It looks like this code is not in a function, so the C++ compiler thinks you are trying to declare more global variables. I put it into a function and it compiles okay.





int vote;





ifstream voter;


voter.open("ballot.txt");





voter%26gt;%26gt;vote;





while(!voter.eof()){





voter%26gt;%26gt;vote;
Reply:maybe its just the way its showing up in your question but your main() ends right before the line "int vote;" so its not a part of your main() or any other routine.
