    Unhappy suffix help.

    Hi,
    I'm doing this little program, and i need help.
    well, I want to make the calculator program where you can add more than 2 numbers.

    example:
    Enter your 1st number:
    Enter your 2nd number you want to add to 1st number:

    the answer is:
    do you want to continue? [y]/[n]?
    If yes:
    Enter your __th/nd/rd number:

    Here is where i need help:

    how do i program it so that when a user enters yes, it will display the suffix after it, and the number increases after each loop, till termination.
    like for the first time, it will be:
    Enter your 3rd number:
    2nd time it will be:
    Enter your 4th number
    Enter your 5th number
    etc etc.

    ive tried doing it, but... i get an error message saying:
    Linker error undefined reference to WinMain@16

    here's what i've tried:


    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <cmath>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    
    // Variables:
    double number1, number2; //variable declared for basic functions
    double answer = 0; // variable declared for basic functions and initialised
    double memory; // variable declared for memory functions
    double value; // variable declared for memory functions
    double numba; // variables declared for memory functions
    double binary; // variables declared for binary functions
    
    int numberX; 
    int valueX = 3;
    
    char additional; //variable declared for loop [basic functions]
    char clear2; // variable declared for loop [memory function]
    
    string suffix;
    
    //function for addition
    //basic 
    void addition() //function start for addition
    {
    //basic 
       system("cls"); //clears screen
          cout << "*------------*\n";
          cout << "|  Addition  |\n";
          cout << "*------------*\n";
          cout << "Please Enter 1st Value: ";
          cin  >> number1;
          cout << "Please Enter 2nd Value: ";
          cin  >> number2;
          cout << "The Answer is: "
          << number1 << " + " <<number2 << " = " << number1 + number2 <<".\n";
          answer = number1 + number2;
    		  
    //adding additional numbers
    do { //adding additional number loop begins
       cout << "\n\n";
       cout << "Do you want to continue?[y/n]: ";
       cin  >> additional;
    
       switch(additional) { //switch begins
      		  
    //If user inputs [y]
          case 'y':
          if (valueX%10 == 1)
             suffix = "st";
          else if (valueX%10 == 2)
             suffix = "nd";
          else if (valueX%10 == 3)
             suffix = "rd";
          else 
             suffix = "th";
          cout <<"Enter the" << valueX << suffix << "to add onto the answer.";
          cin >> numberX;
          cout << "The Answer is: "
          << answer << " + " << numberX << " = " << answer + numberX <<".\n"; 
          answer = answer + numberX;
          break;
      	 
    
        
    //If user inputs [n]
          case 'n':
          system("PAUSE");
          cout << "\n";
          break;
       
          default: //validation
          cout << "Uh-Oh...You typed something wrong..Please Try again. Thank You ^-^\n";
    }}while (additional != 'n'); //loops till 'n' is entered
    }

    Make sure you are compiling as a console application and not a windows GUI. In dev-c++ go to "project options" and under the "general" tab you should see "type:" Change that to Win32 Console
