Was there a question there? Isn't your compiler telling you things that are wrong?

this is what the thing says:

ch7prob4.cpp
C:\Documents and Settings\Kulotski\Desktop\ch7prob4\ch7prob4.cpp(19) : warning C4518: 'void ' : storage-class or type specifier(s) unexpected here; ignored
C:\Documents and Settings\Kulotski\Desktop\ch7prob4\ch7prob4.cpp(19) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'get_end'
C:\Documents and Settings\Kulotski\Desktop\ch7prob4\ch7prob4.cpp(19) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe.

ch7prob4.obj - 2 error(s), 1 warning(s)

Prototypes end in a semicolon.

[For your next question...]Variables need to be declared.

there are variables left to be declared still? i'm not even sure if i've declared them correctly...ugh!

well i think that the use of the word "get" two times for two functions has made some error...try with different names and reply

well, you're also going to need to pass your variables by reference or pointer, otherwise their contents will not be modified. Pass-by-value copies the variables.
