    Function Problem

    Code:
    //Program Name : ngexpress.cpp//
    //Revision Date : 2002-10-11//
    //Explanation : 	Using variables and looping structures display a chart//
    //						The following assignment will demonstrate a program structure, code layout and use logic structures //
    //						The program will use data derived from a user and date acquired from the system at time of execution.//
    
    #include <iostream.h> 	//cout statement//
    #include <conio.h>     	//getch() and clrscr()//
    #include <string.h>		//strcpy()//
    #include <time.h>			//time function//
    #include <iomanip.h>		//decimal formatting//
    #include <math.h>
    
    								//function//
    
    double mycalc(double x, double& y)
    {
    
       y = (-2)*x^2 + 3*x + 1;
    
    }
    
               					//main part of program//
    int main(void)
    {
    	float start,end,yvalue;
    	time_t t=time(NULL);	//time function//
    
    								//Fowler Statement//
    	cout << setiosflags(ios::right);
    	cout << setw(79) << ctime(&t)<<endl;
    	cout << setw(79) << "Gavinn Niroopan"<<endl;

    	gotoxy(28,4);
    	cout << "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"<<endl<<endl;
       cout << "What is the beginning reference in the range of  (-.2.5 to 3.5) - ";
       cin >>start;
       cout << "What is the ending reference in the range of  (-.2.5 to 3.5) - ";
       cin >> end;
    
       clrscr();
    
       cout << ctime(&t) << endl;
    
       gotoxy(28,3);

    	cout << endl;
       cout <<setw(30)<< " Value of x " << setw(30) << " y = -2x^2 + 3x + 1 " << endl;
       cout <<setw(30)<< " ~~~~~~~~~~ " << setw(30) << " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " << endl<<endl;
    
       for(start; start<=end; start = start + 0.5)
    
       {
       	mycalc(start,yvalue);
    
          cout << setiosflags(ios::fixed|ios:: right);
          cout << setprecision(1);
          cout << setw(30)<< start << setw(30) <<yvalue<<endl;
    
       }
    
    
    
       getch();
    
    
    
    }
    can someone tell me how to fix this, thanks. The error is:
