Thread: Need Help With Error Messages.

Okay. I've been working on my Intro to Programming assignment. My code is as follows
(Code Starts)
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <cstdlib>

int tn();
int ui();
int fileopen();
int uexit();
int uerror();
int uinput();
int main()
{
int tn=0;
tn=uinput();
return 0;
}
int uerror()
{
cout<<"\n Error.Try Agian. 2 to exit";
return 0;
}
int uexit()
{
cout<<"\n Thank you. Goodbye.";
return 0;
}
int fileopen()
{
char str[100];
ifstream b_file("infile.dat");
b_file>>str;
cout<<str;
b_file.close();
}
int uinput()

int tn;
int ui;

do
{
cout<<"Press 1 to view the file\n";
cout<<"Press 2 to exit\n";
cin>>ui;

switch(ui)
{
case 1:
tn=fileopen();
break;
case 2:
tn=uexit();
break;
default:
tn=uerror();
break;

}

}while (ui!=2);
return ui;
}(Code Ends)
The error messages I get are:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\HW6\Text2.cpp(41) : warning C4518: 'int ' : storage-class or type specifier(s) unexpected here; ignored
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\HW6\Text2.cpp(41) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'tn'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\HW6\Text2.cpp(41) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and would appreciate it if someone out there could run this program and see where I'm making my mistake. Thanks.

Code:

int uinput() { //need brace here

int tn;
int ui;

and also use code tags when you post code

edit: gustavosserra beat me.

also you do not need to include <iostream.h> since <fstream.h> does it for you

for those of us who are yet to realize that the messages on top came first...
but seriously, i see people do that all the time. why? i think most people can tell the order of the posts by themselves, and those who cant will figure it out soon enough

just so that people don't get mad when they've sufficiently answered the question. i.e. posts such as "I just posted that" etc. etc. usually posted at the same time or seconds before.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I've got it figured out now and pretty much working.
