Thread: Missing function header

So this whole C++ programming thing is new to me I'm working on this code for a class but i'm stuck and don't know how to fix it i'm using microsoft visual C++ 6.0 heres the error i get:
error C2447: missing function header (old-style formal list?) and heres the code

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void main(void);
{  int num1=34, int num2=112;
   float sum, float avg;
   cout << "+------------------------+" << endl;
   cout << "| My Name is Rashad Bell |" << endl;
   cout << "+------------------------+" << endl:
   cout << endl;

   cout << " num1 equals " << num1 << " num2 equals " << num2 << endl;

   sum = num1 + num2;

   cout << " sum equals " << sum << endl;

   avg = sum / 2;

   cout << " sum equals " << sum << endl;
}

help of course will be greatly appreciated because i'm really at a loss

It should be:

int main()
{
int num1=34, num2=112;
float sum, avg;
.
.
.
.
.

return 0;
}

Don't use void main(void)
U will be killed by a lot of angry programmers, cause void main(void) is not ANSI standard

Please use: int main()
and return 0;

int main()
{
return 0;
}

U have more mistakes in the code, u have used sometimes the : instead of ; and u have written void main(void); it should be without ;

So here the code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int num1=34, num2=112;
float sum, avg;
cout << "+------------------------+" << endl;
cout << "| My Name is Rashad Bell |" << endl;
cout << "+------------------------+" << endl;
cout << endl;

cout << " num1 equals " << num1 << " num2 equals " << num2 << endl;

sum = num1 + num2;

cout << " sum equals " << sum << endl;

avg = sum / 2;

cout << " sum equals " << sum << endl;
return 0;
}

yeha and abit of syntax errors too , let a beginner help a beginner, shall we?


try this:

Code:

#include<iostream.h>

int main()
{  
   int num1=34;
   int num2=112;
   float sum,avg;
   cout << "+------------------------+" << endl;
   cout << "| My Name is Rashad Bell |" << endl;
   cout << "+------------------------+" << endl;
   cout << endl;

   cout << " num1 equals " << num1 << " num2 equals " << num2 << endl;

   sum = float (num1 + num2);

   cout << " sum equals " << sum << endl;

   avg = sum / 2;

   cout << " average equals " << avg << endl;
   return 0;
}

hmm
a bit faster.....

grrr

Forgotten some ; and :, so have to edit the code

*grin*

just wanted to say thanks
I appreciate the help and i'll probably be asking more questions and maybe one day i'll be as quick as you guys to answer them
