Functions

hey everyone, I'm using Bloodshed as a compiler..but anyway the problem is when i compile it says the problem is this "{"

here's the code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

using namespace std;

  int newnumber
  newnumber = start + 1;
  return newnumber;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int testnumber;
  int result;
  testnumber = 20
  result = AddOne(testnumber);
  cout << result << endl;
  return 0;
}

also there is another problem this compiler is always making me use system("PAUSE") instead of getch(); also...wat is namespace it does mention nething about it in my book.

How about finishing the code?

Code:

int AddOne( int start ) {     // ADD ME!!!!
  int newnumber
  newnumber = start + 1;
  return newnumber;
}

> wat is namespace it does mention nething about it in my book.
It means your book is too old.
namespaces are part of the new C++ standard.
There are plenty of examples and detail if you press the "search" button to search previous posts.

Shouldn't there be a semi colon after the ending brace for the namespace?

also there is another problem this compiler is always making me use system("PAUSE") instead of getch();

If you have getch(), it's in the <conio> header. But, <conio> is non-standard and I don't know if Bloodshed's compiler has it. The system() function is standard... but of course the system commands that you pass to system() (i.e. "PAUSE") are system-specific.

You can also try some of the technques in the Programming FAQ.

BTW - The problem with the window closing automatically when you program finishes is a "feature" of the operating system. It is not caused by C++.
