need some help with basic C++

Hi,
I'm trying to make a simple calculatir(since I'm busy with C++ fo only 2 days) and it isn't working. I will post the code here. Could someone please tellme what's wrong?

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void optellen();
void aftrekken();
void vermenigvuldigen();
void delen();

int main()
 {
   int input;
    cout<<"1. optellen/n";  
    cout<<"2. aftrekken/n";
    cout<<"3. vermenigvuldigen/n";
    cout<<"4. delen/n";
    cout<<"5. afsluiten/n";
    cout<<"Uw keuze: ";
    cin>> input;
    switch ( input ) {
                     case 1:
                     optellen(           //here is one error
                               {  int x;
                                  int y;
                                  cout<<"Voer 2 nummers in, en druk na ieder nummer op Enter: ";
                                  cin>> x >> y;
                                  cin.ignore();
                                  cout<<"het antwoord is: "<< x <<" + "<< y <<" = "<< x + y<<"/n";
                                  cin.get();
                                 }
                                 int count ( int x, int y )
                                 { 
                                 return x + y;
                                 } );
                                   
                               break;  
                     case 2:
                      aftrekken( { int x;        //here is error #2
                                   int y;
                                   cout<<"voer 2 nummers in, en druk na ieder nummer op Enter: ";
                                   cin>> x >> y;
                                   cin.ignore();
                                   cout<<"het antwoord is: "<< x <<" - "<< y <<" = "<< x - y<<"/n";
                                   cin.get();
                                  }
                                  int subst ( int x, int y )
                                  { return x - y; }  );
                                  break;
                     case 3:
                      vermenigvuldigen( { int x;   // here is error#3
                                          int y;
                                          cout<<"voer 2 nummers in, en druk na ieder getal op Enter: ";
                                          cin>> x >> y;
                                          cin.ignore();
                                          cout<<"het antwoord is: "<< x <<" * "<< y <<" = "<< x * y<<"/n";
                                          cin.get();
                                         }
                                         int mult ( int x, int y )
                                         {return x * y; }  );
                                         break;
                     case 4:
                      delen( { int x;    //and here is last error
                               int y;
                               cout<<"Voer 2 nummers in, en druk na ieder nummer op Enter: ";
                               cin>> x >> y;
                               cin.ignore();
                               cout<<"het antwoord is: "<< x <<" * "<< y <<" = "<< x / y<<"/n";
                               cin.get();
                              }
                              int divide ( int x, int y )
                              {return x / y; }  );
                              break;
                     default:
                      cout<<"Fout, Ongeldige keuze. Start rekenmachine opnieuw/n";
                      break;
                     }
                     cin.get();
                     return 1;
                   }

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you're trying to define functions inside the call parameter list of a function call.
C++ doesn't understand any such thing.
Kurt

And you need to reverse the slashs in your break signs.

Okay, I get the problem. But is there any possibility to let it just work?

Yes, by fixing the problem. Duh

It looks like you're trying to return 1 from main(). Usually 0 is returned from main if no errors occured, whereas nonzero numbers such as 1 are reserved for error conditions.

As an example of what you need to do:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void optellen();
void aftrekken();
void vermenigvuldigen();
void delen();

int main()
{
    int input;
    cout<<"1. optellen/n";  
    cout<<"2. aftrekken/n";
    cout<<"3. vermenigvuldigen/n";
    cout<<"4. delen/n";
    cout<<"5. afsluiten/n";
    cout<<"Uw keuze: ";
    cin>> input;
    switch ( input )
    {
    case 1:
        optellen();
        break;  

    ...

    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

void optellen()
{
    int x;
    int y;
    cout<<"Voer 2 nummers in, en druk na ieder nummer op Enter: ";
    cin>> x >> y;
    cin.ignore();
    cout<<"het antwoord is: "<< x <<" + "<< y <<" = "<< x + y<<"/n";
    cin.get();
}

Also:

Code:

 int x;    //and here is last error
    int y;
    ...

    cout<<"het antwoord is: "<< x <<" * "<< y <<" = "<< x / y<<"/n";
    cin.get();
}
int divide ( int x, int y )
{return x / y; }  );

Be careful here as this is likely to not give you what you want as an answer. Integer division produces an integer result so 8 / 6 is 1 instead of 1.3333... You probably need to use floating point variables here if you want to get the answer.
