Well I'm having quite a bit of errors with my code and have tried figuring out how to fix it, but I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. Here are the errors

And here is the code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

double radius(double x, double y, double xs, double ys);
double diameter(double x);
double circumference(double x);
double area(double x);

const double pi = 3.141;

int main()

{
    double centerX;
    double centerY;
    double pointX;
    double pointY;
    double radius;
    double diameter;
    double circumference;
    double area;

    cout << "This program will calculate the radius, diameter, circumference and area n of a circle if the user gives the locaction of the center point and n a point on the circle."<< endl;
    system("pause");
    system("cls");

    cout << "Enter the x coordinate for the center of the circle. n" << endl;
    cin >> centerX;
    cout << "Enter the y coordinate for the center of the circle. n" << endl;
    cin >> centerY;
    cout << "Now enter the x coordinate for any point on the circle. n" << endl;
    cin >> pointX;
    cout << "Now enter the y coordinate for any point on the circle. n" << endl;
    cin >> pointY;

    radius = radius(centerX, centerY, pointX, pointY);
    diameter = diameter(radius);
    circumference = circumference(radius);
    area = area(radius);

    cout << "The radius of the circle is " << radius << endl;
    cout << "The diameter of the circle is " << diameter << endl;
    cout << "The circumference of the circle is " << circumference << endl;
    cout << "The area of the circle is " << area << endl;

return 0;

}


double radius(double x, double y, double xs, double ys)
{ 
    double radius;
    radius = sqrt(pow((x-xs),2) + pow((y-ys),2));

    return radius;
}


double diameter(double x)
{
    diameter = x * 2;

    return diameter;
}

double circumference(double x)
{   
    circumference = 2 * pi * x;

    return circumference;
}

double area(double x)

{
    area = pi * pow(x,2)

    return area;
}

I believe this is because your function names and your variable names are the same. try changing all of your function names to start with a capital letter

double Radius(double x, double y, double xs, double ys);
double Diameter(double x);
double Circumference(double x);
double Area(double x);

// instead of

double radius(double x, double y, double xs, double ys);
double diameter(double x);
double circumference(double x);
double area(double x);

Also please use code tags when posting code. It makes it much easier to read.
