local function definitions are illegal?? What the...??

What does this mean? It says that in the functions "verOne" and "verTwo". What is going on here. (I am using MSVC++ 6.0) Here is my code:



// calculates how long you would have to save for
// by asking for various information and working from that

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

long double amount = 0;
long double earn = 0;
long double percent = 0;
int weeks = 0;
int result = 0;

void verOne()
{
// get info
system("cls");
cout << "Enter the amount of money that you would like to save:$";
cin >> amount;
cout << "\n";

cout << "Enter the amount of money that you earn each week:$";
cin >> earn;
cout << "\n";

cout << "Enter the percentage of your weekly earnings that you would\n";
cout << "like to save each week: ";
cin >> percent;
cout << "\n";

// calculate end result
percent = percent/earn * 100;
result = amount/percent;

if(result < 1)
{
cout << "It would take you 1 week to reach your target.\n";
exit(0);
}
else
{
cout << "It would take you ";
cout << result;
cout << " week(s) to reach your target.\n";

exit(0);
}

void verTwo()
{
//get info
system("cls");
cout << "Enter the amount of money that you would like to save:$";
cin >> amount;
cout << "\n";

cout << "Enter the maximum amount of weeks that you have to save this money: ";
cin >> weeks;

// calculate result
result = amount/weeks;
cout << "You would have to save $";
cout << result;
cout << " each week for ";
cout << weeks;
cout << " weeks.";
cout << "\n";

exit(0);
}

int main()
{
int choice;
cout << "Would you like to run version 1 or version 2? ";
cin >> choice;

switch(choice)
{
case 1:
verOne();
break;

case 2:
verTwo();
break;
}
return 0;
}
}

See this?

Well the else part is missing a }

You need to define the two functions that you want to use, just like you define the variable in your program

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

long double amount = 0; // these are global vars. it is safer to
long double earn = 0;    // move these inside of the main fun.
long double percent = 0; // and pass b/n functions.
int weeks = 0;
int result = 0;


void verOne(); // Define your functions too
void verTwo(); // Define your functions too


int main()
{
        int choice;
        cout << "Would you like to run version 1 or version 2? ";
        cin >> choice;

        switch(choice)
        {
                case 1: verOne();
                                break;

                case 2: verTwo();
                                break;
        }
        return 0;
}

void verOne()
{
        // get info
        system("cls");
        cout << "Enter the amount of money that you would like to save:$";
        cin >> amount;
        cout << "\n";

        cout << "Enter the amount of money that you earn each week:$";
        cin >> earn;
        cout << "\n";

        cout << "Enter the percentage of your weekly earnings that you would\n";
        cout << "like to save each week: ";
        cin >> percent;
        cout << "\n";

        // calculate end result
        percent = percent/earn * 100;
        result = amount/percent;

        if(result < 1)
        {
                cout << "It would take you 1 week to reach your target.\n";
                exit(0);
        }
        else
        {
                cout << "It would take you ";
                cout << result;
                cout << " week(s) to reach your target.\n";

                exit(0);
        }
}

void verTwo()
{
        //get info
        system("cls");
        cout << "Enter the amount of money that you would like to save:$";
        cin >> amount;
        cout << "\n";

        cout << "Enter the maximum amount of weeks that you have to save this money: ";
        cin >> weeks;

        // calculate result
        result = amount/weeks;
        cout << "You would have to save $";
        cout << result;
        cout << " each week for ";
        cout << weeks;
        cout << " weeks.";
        cout << "\n";

        exit(0);
}
