All I can see is that on line 24, ('q') should be ("q"). If that's not it, you should post the error messages.

Hm, you were right.

I thought that you must put single quotes for single characters, and double quotes for constant strings.

Thanks.

You are correct, but you are comparing "q" to an std::string, not a char, so you must use double quotes.
