>"error c2447: missing function header (old-style formal list)"
And the line of code that goes with this error? Clearly you're trying to do something that looks something like a K&R style function definition, but C++ doesn't allow those.
>um not sure what K&R is
You aren't supposed to unless you have a perverse fascination with ancient dialects of C.
>the line where the error is the "{" right after main
That is soooooo incredibly NOT helpful. Not even I can debug a program given one character (most of the time ). How about posting that line as well as five lines above it (using code tags, because I'm not in the best of moods).
