    Parse Error

    Probably just some silly error I've overlooked, but even after looking back over the code several times I don't see what's wrong.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    
    void letters(string test, int plus, int strsize);
    
    int main(){
    
    string test="A string";
    int strsize=test.size();
    
    letters(string test, int plus, int strsize);
    
    return 0;
    }
    
    void letters(string test, int plus, int strsize){
    	for(plus=0; plus<strsize; plus++){
    	cout<<test[plus];
    	}
    }

    Error:
    Code:
    /home/cerin/string.cpp: In function `int main()':
    /home/cerin/string.cpp:12: error: parse error before `,' token
    My computer is awesome.

    Well, you are declaring a function inside main, instead of calling it.

    Code:
    letters(test, plus, strsize);
    You also need to define plus

    Also in your letters function you don't have to pass the 'plus' integer into it, you could initialise it, and the other limit inside the function itself, like so:

    Code:
    void letters(string test)
    {
    	int strsize = test.size();
    
    	for(int i=0; i<strsize; i++) // I replaced your plusses with a i-s
    	{
    		cout<<test[i];
    	}
    }
    It makes the function's parameters less confusing.
