error ?

This is a snippet from a little calc program I'm working with,
a function to get the surface area of a cube

Code:

long cubeSurf (long length, long width, long height)
{
long surf;
long side1 = length * height;
long side2 = length * width;
long side3 = height * width;
surf = (2 * side1) + (2 * side2) + (2 * side3);  // surface area
return surf;
}

I get this error :
C:\Dev-Cpp\Work\MathW.cpp
[Warning] In function `int main()':
67 C:\Dev-Cpp\Work\MathW.cpp
too few arguments to function `long int
283 C:\Dev-Cpp\Work\MathW.cpp
at this point in file

Can someone explain too few arguments ??
Thanks...............

I am a noob but it sounds like you problem is in int main while calling the function.

if you post some more code I could try to help you out a little more. I think its a declaration problem. try using lont int or long double(I am unsure as to what variable type your using).

Post the FULL tect of the errors, please, not just the first 40 or so characters.

RealityFusion :
OK here's the whole thing so far....As it is it compiles fine
I have the problem area commented out.........

As you can see I was trying to add another function to the collection...........I'm adding them one at a time, but the function for the surface area of a cube is causing problems......maybe in the data type...I've used both long & double, but still get an error about too few arguments..........

cubeSurf looks like this:

long cubeSurf (long length, long width, long height)

while in int main() you call it like this

cubeSurf ();

I think you probably wanted to use cubeSurfscreen in int main, didn't you ?

O*G, next time someone ask you to post code post ONLY relevant code snippet. I doubt many people here will actually read the whole code. Anyway I will do my best to help you this time becuase you are using code tags .

You are invoking function cubeSurf ();

Code:

//     case '7':
//     cubeSurf ();           // Under Construction
//     break;

but the declaration looks like this

Code:

long cubeSurf (long length, long width, long height)

thereof the error too few arguments to function `long int . Very describeable don´t you think . I´m not saying that the function defintion is wrong but I think you are invoking(calling) the wrong function. My guess would be this

Code:

case '7':
cubeSurfscreen ();
break;

Is mine guess right?

P.S. Total area of a cube is very easy. The equation is CubeSurfArea = TotalNumbersOfSurfaces * length*length

ok I graciously accept my dose of "Duh am I stupid........
THANKS all........that was it...(cubeSurfscreen)...
