error: expected '(' for function-style cast or type construction

[alek.mieczkowski]

Hi all,
Im currently working on a c++ program for school, and I thought it would be nice If i framed the output from a function. I looked all over the web to find a solution to no avail. Im completely stuck. I keep getting 2 errors:

*154:35: error: expected '(' for function-style cast or type construction
        <<"|         "<< (*Function)(int c) <<"         |"<<endl*

and

*166:21: error: cannot take the address of an rvalue of type 'void'
                Problem1Container(&LineLoop(6), choice);
                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~*

Im not really sure how to proceed. How do I go about fixing these errors? Below is a code snippet for all the relevent code, as well as a screenshot of the code im having issue with.

Thank you!

P.S if there is any other information I should add, let me know. im fairly new to online forums.

void LineLoop(int size)
{
    int x;
    string line;
    for(x = 0; x <= size; x++)
        {
            line = line + "-";
        }
        cout << line <<endl;
}
void Problem1Container(void (*Function) (int c) ,int choice)
{
    cout
    <<"*-----------Output------------*"<<endl
    <<"|                             |"<<endl
    <<"|         "<< (*Function)(int c) <<"         |"<<endl
    <<"|                             |"<<endl
    <<"*-----------Output------------*"<<endl;
}


void Problem1Pics(int choice)
{

    string line;
    if(choice == 1) //lines
    {
        Problem1Container(&LineLoop(6), choice);
    }

Show all of the relevant code, including headers (class definitions and function declarations), as well as implementation code for the classes/functions that are failing. You are not providing enough information. We especially need the entire section of code where the errors are occuring and you are only providing segments.

@alek - no problem! I'll look at it after it is posted. At earliest it will be this time tomorrow. I don't get home from work until late.
