QSORT --and undefined external

hi,
Im starting to read up on arrays.I copied some code and when i try to compile it I keep getting:

C:\Users\ghetto smurf\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Array\Debug\Array.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

here is the code

Code:

#include<iostream>
 

using namespace std;

//function definitions///////////////////////////////

int sortArray(const void *a,const void *b)
{
	int objA=*((int*)a);
	int objB=*((int*)b);
	if (objA<objB)
		return -1;
	if (objA==objB)
		return 0;
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
	int someArray[]={12,23,31,4,5,16};
	int postion;

	qsort((void*)someArray,6,sizeof(someArray[0]),sortArray);

cin.get();
return 0;
}

I have a feeling im missing something obvious.Have i not included the libary that qsort is a member of?

I'm pretty sure you're missing:

Code:

 #include <stdlib.h>

Tried that and still showing the same error message.I have Double checked the code and its copied verbatim as far as i can tell..

It works fine with me...

Code:

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

using namespace std;

//function definitions///////////////////////////////

int sortArray(const void *a,const void *b)
{
	int objA=*((int*)a);
	int objB=*((int*)b);
	if (objA<objB)
		return -1;
	if (objA==objB)
		return 0;
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
	int someArray[]={12,23,31,4,5,16};
	int postion;

	qsort((void*)someArray,6,sizeof(someArray[0]),sortArray);
        for(int i = 0;i<6;i++){
            cout << someArray[i] << endl;
        }
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

However, I don't think the sortArray function works correctly. I don't know what you want it to do though..

Well, it compiles and links fine here. Does it perhaps mention, what the unresolved external is?

As to your comparison function, you are not returning anything if objA > objB.

And in C++ you can save yourself some trouble and use C++'s sort function:

Code:

#include <algorithm>

int main()
{
    int someArray[]={12,23,31,4,5,16};
    std::sort(someArray, someArray + 6);
}

thx will try that ...seems alot less complex.No it doesnt mention what the external that is undefined(i think it normally does with varibles).

I'm pretty sure it does. You need to look in the output window and scroll up.
Well at least we can see that it's VS2008, and that you're running on Vista, and even that your user name is 'ghetto smurf' . Use what anon shows.

thx all....and ghetto smurf is my real name
