"short" is a specific type of integer and therefore is one of the keywords that you cannot use as a variable.

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/keyword So is "long". Since it is case sensitive, why not capitalize it as "Short"? |

Actually we just noticed that you are using "float short". That is definitely invalid. You would want to just use "short" only.
