what's wrong with this code?

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

void SetBoard(char board[][79], SHIP* player);
void ShowBoard();

int main()
{
	int keypress=0; //for player hitting a key

	char board[51][79]; //board

	struct SHIP //ship coordinate struct
	{
		int top0;
		int top1;
		int top2;
		int top3;
		int top4;
		int top5;
		int top6;
		int top7;
	};

	SHIP playership;
	playership.top0=38; //a & b coordinates for ship
	playership.top1=49;

	playership.top2=38;
	playership.top3=50;

	playership.top4=39;
	playership.top5=50;

	playership.top6=37;
	playership.top7=50;

	SHIP* player;
	player=&playership; //for changing playership

	SetBoard(board, player);

	_getch();


	return 0;
}

//*****************************************FUNCTIONS****************************************

void SetBoard(char board[][79], SHIP* player)
{
	for(int a=0;a<=50;a++)     //initialize board
	{
		for(int b=0;b<=78;b++)
		{
			board[a][b]=' ';
		}
	}
	board[player->top0][player->top1]='*';
	board[player->top2][player->top3]='*';
	board[player->top4][player->top5]='*';
	board[player->top5][player->top7]='*';
}

I'm sure it's just a stupid error I made, like syntax. Thanks.

- What's the error message or problem you are getting?

- If you have URL's in your sig, why not make the links?

You are declaring your function

Code:

void SetBoard(char board[][79], SHIP* player);

before you declare your struct SHIP. Correct code is:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

struct SHIP //ship coordinate struct
	{
		int top0;
		int top1;
		int top2;
		int top3;
		int top4;
		int top5;
		int top6;
		int top7;
	};
	
void SetBoard(char board[][79], SHIP* player);
void ShowBoard();

int main()
{
	int keypress=0; //for player hitting a key

	char board[51][79]; //board

	

	SHIP playership;
	playership.top0=38; //a & b coordinates for ship
	playership.top1=49;

	playership.top2=38;
	playership.top3=50;

	playership.top4=39;
	playership.top5=50;

	playership.top6=37;
	playership.top7=50;

	SHIP* player;
	player=&playership; //for changing playership

	SetBoard(board, player);

	_getch();


	return 0;
}
