alright, this is as far as i can get it, i made some obvious fixes but the 
same error is in.

//Exercise - Anagram Checker
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
 string input1;
 string input2;

 cout << "Enter a word: ";
 cin >> input1;
 cout << endl;

 cout << "Enter another word: ";
 cin >> input2;
 cout << endl;

 cout << "Let's see if your words are anagrams of each other. "
      << endl;

 int length = 0;

 if(input1.length() != input2.length())
  {
   cout << "\nYour words have different lengths, so they can't be anagrams!";
   return 0;
  }
 else
  length = input1.length();


 int equal = 0;

 int a = 0;
 int b = 1;
 int c = 0;


 equal = input1.substr(a, b).compare(input2, c, b);

 for( ; c < length ; )
  {
   for( ; a < length, equal == 0 ; a++)
     {
      input1.substr(a, b).compare(input2, c, b);
     }
   if(a >= length)
     {
      a = 0;
      c++;
     }
  }

 if(input1.substr(a, b).compare(input2, c, b) != 0)
  {
   cout << "The words are not anagrams.";
   return 0;
  }
 else
  {
   cout << "The words are anagrams! What luck!";
   return 0;
  }
}
