How do I correct this code? I'm getting an error message telling me that local function definitions are illegal.

It also says "end of file found before left brace." What's that?

Code:

node * pop (node * head)
{    node* p=NULL;
	 node* q =NULL;
	 cout<<"Enter value to be deleted: ";
	 cin>>num;
	//cout<<"** Error  Empty Stack **"<<endl;
	if (head->n==num)
	{
		p = head;
		head=head->next;
		delete p;
	}

	else
	{
		p = head;  // point to the 1st node which is going to be removed
		q=head->next;
		while (q!=NULL && q->n<num)
		{
			p=q;
			q=q->next;
		}
		if (q->n==num)
		{
			p->next =q->next;
			delete q;
		}
		else if (q==NULL || q->n>num)
			cout<<"** Error  Value not found **"<<endl;
	}
	return head;

}
void print(node * head)
{
	node * p=NULL;
	if (head==NULL)
		cout<<"** Error  Empty Stack **"<<endl;
	else
	{
		p = head;
		while (p!=NULL)
		{
			cout<<p->n<<" ";
			p=p->next;
		}
	}
	return;
}

"It also says "end of file found before left brace." What's that?"

} <------left brace

The compiler was expecting a left brace to match an earlier right brace, but it hit the end of the file first.
