Im supposed to make a little game in which you're supposed to guess a letter in 6 tries. It reads the letters from a text file. I get a bunch of errors and dont really know what to do. Any suggestions?

//this function runs one entire game. It for checks either 6 incorrect guesses or a correct guess.
//It returns a 0 if the game is over and the player did not guess the letter, otherwise it returns 1.
int PlayGuess(char solution);
//this function prompts the player to make a guess and returns that guess
//this function is called from inside the PlayGuess( ) function described above
char GetLetter( );
//this function takes two arguments, the guess from the player
