Starter C++ Program

I'm new to C++ and I'm trying to write a program that accepts a number between 1 and 5 and then displays the number in words (i.e., 1=one). This is an assignment and unfortunately there are parameters I have to go by. I would have used a switch statement and then returned the result to main(), but my instructions are to display the result within the function and use a series of if/else statements. Here's what I have so far:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


void numToWord(unsigned int);                           // function prototype


int main ()
{
    unsigned int num;
    
    cout << "Enter a number in the range 1-5: ";       // requests a user-entered number
    cin >> num;
    
    void numToWord(unsigned int num);                  // function call
}


void numToWord(unsigned int num)                       // displays the entered number in words
{    
    if (num==1)
    {
        cout << "You entered the number one.";
    }
    else if (num==2)
    {
        cout << "You entered the number two.";
    }
    else if (num==3)
    {
        cout << "You entered the number three.";
    }
    else if (num==4)
    {
        cout << "You entered the number four.";
    }
    else if (num==5)
    {
        cout << "You entered the number five.";
    }
    else
    cout << "You entered an invalid number.";
}

When I run it, it accepts the number but doesn't display any output.
If anyone can give me a tip, that would be great!

You never call the function in main(). Line 15 is a function prototype not a function call.

I thought that line looked wrong. Thanks for the help, it runs perfectly now!
