As it says you have a double function so it is expecting a double value to be returned.

Plus you seem to be missing some function definitions.

Line 52. It must be a void instead of a double.

Here is the correct code fixed:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int InputData(string [], int []);
void DisplayPlayerData( string [], int [], int );
int CalculateAverageScore( int [], int ); 
void DisplayBelowAverage( string [], int [], int, int );

int main()
{
	string players[100];
    int score[100];
    int numPlayers = 0;
    int averageScore = 0;

    numPlayers = InputData (players, score);
      
    //
    // Display the players and their scores
    //
    DisplayPlayerData( players, score, numPlayers );

    //
    // Call CalculateAverageScore() which returns thre score average as an integer
    // Note that we only pass the variables we actually need in the function - not the ones we do not need
    //
    averageScore = CalculateAverageScore( score, numPlayers );

    //
    // Display the below average scores
    //
    DisplayBelowAverage( players, score, numPlayers, averageScore );

    return 0;

		cout << "Enter the score of the player " << playerName[i] << ": ";
