    hey all, hope you're having a fine evening.

    you know you're moving up in the world when you finally get an error you've only read about Does someone mind pointing this out for me? Thanks.

    eferenced from C:\BORLAND\BCC55\BIN\POKER.OBJ

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <ctime>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    
    void f_shuffle (int [] [13]);
    void f_deal (const int [] [13], const char *[], const char *[]);
    
    main()
    {	const char *suit [4]={
    							"Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spades",};
    	const char *face [13]={
    							"Ace", "Deuce", "Three", "Four",
    							"Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight",
    							"Nine", "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King",};
    	int deck [4] [13]={0};
    	srand (time(0));
    
    	f_shuffle (deck);
    	f_deal (deck, face, suit);
    
    	return(0);
    }
    
    
    
    void f_shuffle (int _deck [] [13])
    {	int row, column;
    	for ( int card = 1; card <=52; card++)
    	{	do
    		{	row=rand() %4;
    			column=rand() %13;
    		}while (_deck [row] [column] !=0);
    		_deck [row] [column] = card;
    	}}
    
    void deal (const int _deck [] [13], const char *_face, const char *_suit[])
    {
    	for (int card=1; card <=52; card++)
    	{	for (int row=0; row<=3; row++)
    		{	for (int column=0; column <=12; column++)
    			{	if (_deck [row] [column] == card)
    				{	cout<<setw(5)<<setiosflags(ios::right)
    						<<_face[column]<<" of "

    Your function definition for f_deal should look like this:
    void f_deal (const int _deck [] [13], const char *_face[], const char *_suit[])

    Sometimes it helps to include the names in your prototype and then copy and paste that as your definition. That way you're sure that both the prototype and definition are the same.

    My best code is written with the delete key.
