My last function is giving me an error and not sure why? HELP...

The last funtion IsPrimeNumber () is giving me an error that states ..."Local Function definitions are illegal"....can someone please tell me why? Thanks

The last funtion IsPrimeNumber () is giving me an error that states ..."Local Function definitions are illegal"....can someone please tell me why?
This is because you didn't closed the function definition of void ConvertTotalSeconds (void) (i.e. you didn't put the closing } while ending the definition of void ConvertTotalSeconds (void)
)

Also, even if you did, your function isPrimeNumber() will not work. This is because in your function you used if (Num % Num == 0) and rather I should tell you that every number divided by itself leaves remainder zero.
So you function will always show each number is prime.
djextreme5 showed you how the definition of the isPrime should be, but there is a error in his program too.
He didn't initialized the variable count and incremented its value.
So the definition should be something like this :

[B]int[/B] IsPrimeNumber (int num)
{
  for(int i = 2; i <= sqrt(num); i++)
   if(num % i == 0)
      { cout<<"Is not a prime";
         return 0;}

cout<<"Is a prime";
  return1;
}

Moreover, the style
void function_name(void ) is not good. Use
void function_name() instead. The first one is old and outdated and is usually used by C programmers.

You don't have to go upto sqrt(num). The loop may be like this.

for(int i = 2; i < sqrt(num); i++)

>You don't have to go upto sqrt(num). The loop may be like this.
Wrong!!
consider 25: its square-root is 5, According to you, we should check till 4.
25 is not divisible by 2
25 is not divisible by 3
25 is not divisible by 4
So, is it a prime number?

Hence the correct thing is to check till the square-root including the square-root itself like I mentioned in my earlier post.

Yes you are right. My apologies...
Thanks for correcting me.
