C++ Error: No Match for Call

Question

I'm trying to compile the following code in C++ ``` string initialDecision () { char decisionReviewUpdate; cout << "Welcome. Type R to review, then press enter." << endl; cin >> decisionReviewUpdate; // Processing code } int main() { string initialDecision; initialDecision=initialDecision(); //ERROR OCCURS HERE // More processing code return 0; } ``` Right where it says "Error occurs here", I get the following error while compiling: "Error: No Match for Call to '(std::string) ()'. How can I resolve this?

Accepted Answer

Don't give your string and your function the same name, and the error will go away.

The compiler has "forgotten" that there is a function with that name, when you declare a local variable with the same name.
