I am currently coding a program that will allow a user to input a direction and move a robot along a coordinate plane. I am new to C++, so a few of the errors I am getting are confusing me. Could someone please explain my errors?
When I call function init_room, it says there are too few arguments. The same thing happens when I call init_robot. They both have pointer parameters. How would I go about fixing this issue?
When I call function move in the main function, it says the expression must be a modifiable value. What does this mean?
Thanks for the help!
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int x;

room *current_room;
int current_x;
int current_y;

};
void init_robot(robot *r) {
r->current_room->x;
r->current_room->y;
r->current_x = 0;
r->current_y = 0;
//Assign model number
r->model;
}
void init_room(room *r) {
cin >> r->x;
cin >> r->y;
}
char move(robot *r, int direction) {
if (direction == 'N' || direction == 'n')
