    function call not working

} // end of function
    why is the function of stats not working, as it comiles ok without errors, when I go to press S, it just quits the program without viewing the stats

    #define noattack();
    #define stats();

    I don't know what you want these things to do, but I can almost guarantee you that they don't do what you think. I wonder if it's even legal syntax.

    In general, you have a lot of syntax errors in there.
    All the buzzt!

    That is some intresting code....
    1: You have ";" at the end of your function names.
    2: You should put your stuff in your little main: into the actual main() function.
    Here is a quick layout of how it should go
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;//If you do this you don't have to put using std::cout, etc

void noAttack();    //This is how you prototype a function
void stats();       

int main()
{
    //set up the variables you want
    //put all of your welcome code here etc
    //or make a start function whatever floats your boat
    
    stats();    //this is how you would call the function
}

void noAttack()
{
    //noAttack() code here
}

void stats()
{
    //stats stuff here
}
    Also spaces are nice.
    Woop?

    here now fix the three funcs up at the top and should be ok. also do something about the goto. learn about loops instead.
    Code:
    #include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string>
#include<windows.h>

void noattack();
void stats();
void shop();

void noattack()
{
   // put stuff here for noattack
}

void stats()
{
   // do your stats
}

void shop()
{
   // do shopping
}


using namespace std;

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
string pname;
char choice;
char attack;
int phealth = 100;
int gold = 0;
int items = 0;
int exp = 0;
int magic = 0;
int level = 1;
int size;
int x;
stats();
shop();
noattack();

if (exp == 3)
{
level=+1;
cout << "You have gained a level!!\n" << endl;
}

else if (exp == 6)
{
level=+1;
cout << "You have gained another level!!\n" << endl;
}

else if (exp == 9)
{
level=+1;
cout << "You have reached another level!!\n" << endl;
}

cout << "You have reached a higher level!\n" << endl;
}

    Still problems

    I did all you guys said, compiled it and got 2 linker errors saying

    undefined refrence to stats
    undefined refrence to noattac
    new code:

    Code:

    We are not the hand holders of programming association.
    I showed you exactly how to do it. Just put your function code how I showed you.
    While you are at it you should read the tutorial because its obvious you have not.
    Oh and also put some freaking indentation on your code. It is freaking ugly.

    Minor nit:

    Code:
    Sleep(2000);
    system("cls");
    goto main;
    system("cls");
    }
    When are you ever going to execute that line if you always jump away before you get to it? Learn to use the looping features of the language instead of using goto.




    Code:
    int main()
{

void stats();
void noattack();
    Try this instead:

    Code:
    void stats();
void noattack();

int main()
{
    Don't try to prototype a function within a function. You're prototypes should be outside of any functions.

    The same goes for the actual functions themselves, put all the code for the functions outside of any other functions, you currently have them inside of your main function.

    Code:
    void stats()
{
    cout << "\t\tSTATUS SCREEN\n";
    cout << "\n\n";
    cout << "Player Name " << pname;
    cout << "\n\n";
    cout << "Level is at " << level;
    cout << "\n\n";
    cout << "Experience " << exp;
    cout << "\n\n";
    cout << "Items totl " << items;
    cout << "\n\n";
    cout << "Magic levl " << magic;
    cout << "\n\n";
    cout << "Gold found " << gold;
    cout << "\n\n";
    cout << "Health is  " << phealth;
    cout << "\n\n";
    cout << "Press a key to exit" << endl;
    getch();
}
    All the above variables are currently local to the main function. Within the scope of the function they are undefined. You will either have to make the variables global (bad), or pass them as arguments into the function (meaning the prototype, etc. for the function will need to change to indicate the arguments). Better yet would be to put all the variables into a "player" class/struct and then you would just need to pass a single object into the function instead of many.

    Learn to indent your code better. As it stands it is horrible. Use the handy "Preview Post" button to see what your post will look like before you submit it. Keep reworking your post till it looks readable and is formatted good then hit the "Submit" button.

    thanks guys

    i sorted it now, you were right, i did need to read up a little before i jumped in the deep end with that text prog.

    at least now i know how to do it, and i got rid of goto and used a while loop instead

    Simple I fixed the prototypes not knowing the funcs werent written so quickly added them after trying a build so as it would build successfully. I simply couldnt be bothered to remove them. lazy but what the hell!
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
