Hi, I've posted m code below and cant get it to work because of fatal error c1004 unexpected end-of-file found.
Appreciate any help.

Duplicate post. Response posted in the other one.

Oh. They deleted the thread with the response in and kept this one? That wasn't very smart.

What is main doing inside a class ? Also it should be int main() instead of void main().

Took main() out of class and declared it as int instead of void. Have new errors now:

Hey, thanks!

IKept main() out of class but changd int main() to void main()
Got no errors.
Appreciate the help.
