I see a definition for tellStory and askText but not for askNumber. Just define the funciton (like you did for the other two) and the compiler will be happy.

[Lilgenski16]

Isnt the definition tellstory right here: string askText(string prompt); int askNumber(string prompt); void tellStory(string name, string noun, int number, string bodyPart,string verb); (Lines 10,11,12)

[L7Sqr]

You were asking about askNumber, not tellStory.

What you point out are the declarations not the definitions. Declarations give the signature of the function (parameters, return type) and definitions provide the functional body for the function. Lines 30 and 38 start the definitions of askText and tellStory, respectively.

Ah! I see thank you very much!
