What seems to be wrong with this code fragment ?

switch (color) {
case 'b': Black;
break;
case 'w': White;
break;
case 'r': Red;
break;
case 'g': Green;
break;
case 'B': Blue;
break;
case 'y': Yellow;
break;
case 'c': Cyan;
break;
case 'm': Magenta;
break;
default: cout << "Invalid colour!" << endl;
}



enum color {Black = 1, White = 2, Red = 3, Green = 4, Blue = 5, Yellow = 6, Cyan = 7, Magenta = 8};

RectangleShape R(W, x, y, color, w, h);


Compiler says it cannot call the function RectangleShape ??

create a variable of type color.

e.g. color colour;

take this line out:
enum color {Black = 1, White = 2, Red = 3, Green = 4, Blue = 5, Yellow = 6, Cyan = 7, Magenta = 8};

color is a built-in type, you don't have to declare the different colours.

It should look like

//define variable to store colour and use in functions
color TheColour;
char StringColour='r';

switch ( StringColour ) {
case 'r' : TheColour = Red;
break;
case 'y' : TheColour = Yellow;
break;
}
//

This will allow you to use TheColour wherever you used to use the Enum values;

Thanks guys !

Nothing, we received the answers on ass1, but nothing on marks yet. I think that you qualify for all 10 credits just for sending the ass1 for COS112V.
