    error: invalid types ‘unsigned int[unsigned int]’ for array subscript

    Why am I getting invalid type on

    Project1.cpp:139:32: error: invalid types ‘unsigned int[unsigned int]’ for array subscript
    os << Mon[month(date)-1];

    Code:
    void displayDate(const Date& date, ostream& os, DATE_STYLE ds)
    {
    
     // if ds == MM_DD_YYYY)
    
      if (!wellFormed(date))
      {
         cout << "Date Error\n";
         exit(1);
      }
      else
        if (ds == MM_DD_YYYY)
        {
          if (numDigits(date) == 7)
            os << '0';
            os << month(date) << '/';
            if (nthDigit(date, 5) == 0)
               os << '0';
               os << day(date) << '/';
               unsigned y = year(date);
               unsigned len = 4 - numDigits(y);
               for (unsigned i = 0; i < len; ++i)
                 os << '0';
                 os << year(date) << endl;
         }
         else
           string Mon[12] = {"Jan ", "Feb ", "Mar ", "Apr ", "May ", "June ", "Jul ", "Aug ",
           "Sept ", "Oct ", "Nov ", "Dec " };
            unsigned Mon;
            os << Mon[month(date)-1];
            if (nthDigit(date, 5) == 0)
            os << '0';
            os << day(date) << ",";
            unsigned y = year(date);
            unsigned len = 4 - numDigits(y);
            for (unsigned i = 0; i < len; ++i)
            {
              os << '0';
              os << year(date) << endl;
            }
    }

    Well, now look at the formatted code snippet...
    this part:
    Code:
    else
        if (ds == MM_DD_YYYY)
        {
          if (numDigits(date) == 7)
            os << '0';
            os << month(date) << '/';
            if (nthDigit(date, 5) == 0)
               os << '0';
               os << day(date) << '/';
               unsigned y = year(date);
               unsigned len = 4 - numDigits(y);
               for (unsigned i = 0; i < len; ++i)
                 os << '0';
                 os << year(date) << endl;
         }
         else
           string Mon[12] = {"Jan ", "Feb ", "Mar ", "Apr ", "May ", "June ", "Jul ", "Aug ",
           "Sept ", "Oct ", "Nov ", "Dec " };
            unsigned Mon;
    is the same as if you would write it as
    Code:
    else if (ds == MM_DD_YYYY)
    {
          if (numDigits(date) == 7)
          {  
                os << '0';
          }
            os << month(date) << '/';
            if (nthDigit(date, 5) == 0)
            {
                  os << '0';
            }
               os << day(date) << '/';
               unsigned y = year(date);
               unsigned len = 4 - numDigits(y);
               for (unsigned i = 0; i < len; ++i)
              {
                os << '0';
               }
    
                 os << year(date) << endl;
         }
         else
         {
           string Mon[12] = {"Jan ", "Feb ", "Mar ", "Apr ", "May ", "June ", "Jul ", "Aug ",
           "Sept ", "Oct ", "Nov ", "Dec " };
         }
            unsigned Mon;
            ...
    Is it the same as you have expected?

    This seems bogus to me,

    Code:
            unsigned Mon;
            os << Mon[month(date)-1];
    You are declaring Mon to be an ordinary unsigned int but then you use it as if it were an array.

    The other Mon,

    Code:
    string Mon[12] = .......;
    is out of scope as VictorN suggests.
