Thread: Error Help

Hello all

I am once again struggling with my homework. Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't know what the below errors mean. I will post the code if that helps.

c:\documents and settings\litchfield\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\homework_3\homework_3\homework_3.cpp (40) : error C2144: syntax error : 'int' should be preceded by ')'
c:\documents and settings\litchfield\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\homework_3\homework_3\homework_3.cpp (40) : error C2660: 'getTotalKWH' : function does not take 0 arguments
c:\documents and settings\litchfield\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\homework_3\homework_3\homework_3.cpp (40) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'

Homework_3 - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

#define low 5.151
#define medium 7.110
#define high 9.800

int getUserInput ( );
int getTotalKWH (int end_mtr, int start_mtr);

int main ( )       
{
		int cust_num = 0;
		int start_mtr = 0;
		int end_mtr = 0;
		int hours = 0;

		printf ("This program will compute BetterJoules Electric Company Customer Bills");

		printf ("\n\nPlease enter Customer Number: ");
		
			cust_num = getUserInput ( );

		printf ("\n\nPlease enter starting meter reading:  ");
		
			start_mtr = getUserInput ( );

		printf ("\n\nPlease enter ending meter reading:  ");
		
			end_mtr = getUserInput ( );

		printf("\n\nTotal Kilowatt Hours used: ");

			hours = getTotalKWH (int end_mtr, int start_mtr); 


}

int getUserInput ( )
{
		int input = 0;

		scanf ("%d%*c", &input);

		return input;

}

int getTotalKWH (int end_mtr, int start_mtr)
{
		int hours = 0;

		hours = (end_mtr - start_mtr);

		scanf ("%d%*c", hours);

		return hours;

}

Code:

hours = getTotalKWH (int end_mtr, int start_mtr);

If the stuff in red meant anything at all (which it doesn't), it would declare new variables end_mtr and start_mtr hiding the original variables of those names.

Of course, since the stuff in red doesn't mean anything at all, it should be deleted.

And you're main function should end with:

Code:

return(0);

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the help. I will now spend hours working on the next small portion of the assignment
