Compiling error... a function-definition is not allowed here before â{â token

I keep getting this compiling error

This is the output:

I am really confused why these errors are there. Any help would be great.

The compiler is being as explicit as possible: you're defining a function where it is not allowed to define a function! Here is a snippet

Code:

---

int main(void)
{
  int done = 0;
  char choice;
  while ( !done )
  {
      cout << "Menu"
              "[1] Area of Circle"
              "[2] Convert lbs to kgs"
              "[3] Convert mph to fps"
              "[4] Coin flip"
              "[5] Roll dice"
              "Enter choice (q to quit)? ";
      cin >> choice;
      switch(choice)
      {
            case '1':
            {
              int r;
              cout << "Enter positive int radius? ";
              cin >> r;
              double areaOfCircle (int r)
              {
                  double pi = 3.14159;
                  double a;
                  a = pi * r * r;
              return a;
              }
              cout << areaOfCircle(r) << "units squared" << endl;
            break;
        }
//.. rest of 'main' here
}

You're defining this function inside of the function "main". Move the definition outside of this function, and simply call the function from "main". So it may look like:

Code:

---

            double areaOfCircle (int r)
              {
                  double pi = 3.14159;
                  double a;
                  a = pi * r * r;
              return a;
              }

int main(void)
{
  int done = 0;
  char choice;
  while ( !done )
  {
      cout << "Menu"
              "[1] Area of Circle"
              "[2] Convert lbs to kgs"
              "[3] Convert mph to fps"
              "[4] Coin flip"
              "[5] Roll dice"
              "Enter choice (q to quit)? ";
      cin >> choice;
      switch(choice)
      {
            case '1':
            {
              int r;
              cout << "Enter positive int radius? ";
              cin >> r;
              cout << areaOfCircle(r) << "units squared" << endl;
            break;
        }
//.. rest of 'main' here
}

thanks! got it
