Thread: damn error is hiding lol

Can anyone atleast explain what this error message means? It wont let me print it and the code in the message here. I would appreciate any help you could give thanks.a:\mathtutor\tutorial.cpp(20) : error C2447: missing function header (old-style formal list?)
Error executing cl.exe.

tutorial.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

at line 20 there is a {, but there is nothing that opens it, such as a function, a for or an if, I thing that to fix this problem, yoou have to put
void main(void)

before the curly bracket, I did it, but there are lots of other errors...

by the way, what other programming languages do you know?
