Thread: can't find the error

I am getting these errors:
etoxfunction.cpp:10: parse error before `continue'
etoxfunction.cpp: In function `int main ()':
etoxfunction.cpp:24: parse error before `continue'
etoxfunction.cpp: At top level:
etoxfunction.cpp:81: parse error before `continue'
etoxfunction.cpp:84: syntax error before `<'
etoxfunction.cpp:85: syntax error before `<'


with this code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <iomanip>

void intro();
double getvalue(double& xvalue);
double calculate(double DELTA, double factorial,int& expntofx, double nthterm, double& xvalue,
double& sumofterms);
void showresult(double DELTA, int expntofx, double xvalue, double sumofterms);
char continue(char response);
void continloop(char response, double xvalue, double DELTA, double factorial, int expntofx, double nthterm, double sumofterms);

int main()
{
double const DELTA = 0.000001;
double sumofterms = 1;
double nthterm = 1;
double xvalue;
int expntofx = 1;
double factorial = 1;
char response;

intro();
response = continue();
continloop(response, xvalue, DELTA, factorial,expntofx, nthterm, sumofterms);



cout<< endl;
return 0;

}

cout<< endl << endl;
return xvalue;
}

double calculate(double DELTA, double factorial,int& expntofx, double nthterm, double& xvalue,
double& sumofterms)
{
while(abs(nthterm) > DELTA)
{

}

return sumofterms;
}

}

}

void continloop(char response, double xvalue, double DELTA, double factorial, int expntofx, double nthterm, double sumofterms)
{

{
getvalue(xvalue);
calculate(DELTA, factorial, expntofx, nthterm, xvalue, sumofterms);
showresult(DELTA, expntofx, xvalue, sumofterms);
}

}

what could be the problem?

>> Oh, and learn how to indent code - it will make your life much easier in the long run

Yeah, if you're using MSVC++, just use Alt+F8 to automatically indent it for you

The protoype of continue() says that it has one argument but you called the function in main() with no arguments.

char continue(char response);
response = continue();

Ofcourse you should also change the name of continue.

Hint: Maybe you want to make default arguments for the function continue.
Try fixing these errors then if you have any others just post them here!
