Getting a weird error

Nov 13th, 2008

I am creating a code, and I'm getting this weird error. I'm sure its a stupid mistake, but I can find it.

multiple definition of `Start()'
first defined here
ld returned 1 exit status
C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew\My Documents\projects\equation\Makefile.win [Build Error] [equation.exe] Error 1

And here is the code:

using namespace std;
 
void Start ();
 
int e, ecount, multiplicator, mcount, answer;
 
void
Start ()
{
      e = 0;
      ecount = 0;
      cout << "Welcome to X-solve. This program is designed to solve almost any mathamatical equation that \n includes a variable. For example: 6*x=12. The program would then solve x, which would be 2.\n\n";
 
           cout << "To start, enter the outcome to the equation: (for example, 6*x=12. 12 would be the outcome)\n";
           cin >> ecount;
           e = ecount;
           cout << "Thanks! Now enter the multiplicator: (6*x=12. 6 would be the multiplicator)\n";
           cin >> mcount;
           multiplicator = mcount;
           answer = e/multiplicator;
           cout << "Finished.\n " << multiplicator << "*x=" << e << "\n x=" << answer << "";
           }
using namespace std;

void Start ();

int e, ecount, multiplicator, mcount, answer;

void
Start ()
{
      e = 0;
      ecount = 0;
      cout << "Welcome to X-solve. This program is designed to solve almost any mathamatical equation that \n includes a variable. For example: 6*x=12. The program would then solve x, which would be 2.\n\n";

           cout << "To start, enter the outcome to the equation: (for example, 6*x=12. 12 would be the outcome)\n";
           cin >> ecount;
           e = ecount;
           cout << "Thanks! Now enter the multiplicator: (6*x=12. 6 would be the multiplicator)\n";
           cin >> mcount;
           multiplicator = mcount;
           answer = e/multiplicator;
           cout << "Finished.\n " << multiplicator << "*x=" << e << "\n x=" << answer << "";
           }

Here is a version of your code that worked for me

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
 
 
int e, ecount, multiplicator, mcount, answer;
 
int main(int nargs,char* args[])
{
      e = 0;
      ecount = 0;
      cout << "Welcome to X-solve. This program is designed to solve almost any mathamatical equation that \n includes a variable. For example: 6*x=12. The program would then solve x, which would be 2.\n\n";
 
           cout << "To start, enter the outcome to the equation: (for example, 6*x=12. 12 would be the outcome)\n";
           cin >> ecount;
           e = ecount;
           cout << "Thanks! Now enter the multiplicator: (6*x=12. 6 would be the multiplicator)\n";
           cin >> mcount;
           multiplicator = mcount;
           answer = e/multiplicator;
           cout << "Finished.\n " << multiplicator << "*x=" << e << "\n x=" << answer << "";
    system("pause");
    return 0;
           }
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;



int e, ecount, multiplicator, mcount, answer;

int main(int nargs,char* args[])
{
      e = 0;
      ecount = 0;
      cout << "Welcome to X-solve. This program is designed to solve almost any mathamatical equation that \n includes a variable. For example: 6*x=12. The program would then solve x, which would be 2.\n\n";

           cout << "To start, enter the outcome to the equation: (for example, 6*x=12. 12 would be the outcome)\n";
           cin >> ecount;
           e = ecount;
           cout << "Thanks! Now enter the multiplicator: (6*x=12. 6 would be the multiplicator)\n";
           cin >> mcount;
           multiplicator = mcount;
           answer = e/multiplicator;
           cout << "Finished.\n " << multiplicator << "*x=" << e << "\n x=" << answer << "";
    system("pause");
    return 0;
           }

You didnt include iostream for the cin/couts or have a main function.

Worked for me. Post your compiler and options.
