Erotic Buddhist Champion (2)
I'm in a computer programming class and having trouble. The assignment is:

Write a program that uses a structure named MovieData to store the following information about a movie:

Title
Director
Year Released
Running Time (in minutes)

The program should create two MovieData variables, store values in their members, and pass each one, in turn, to a function that displays the information about the movie in a clearly formatted manner.

The problem im having is im getting two error messages and I have
no idea what they mean.
The first is:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl movieDisplay(struct Movie,struct Movie)" (?movieDisplay@@YAXUMovie@@0@Z) referenced in function _main
and the second is:
error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

}


any advice would be appreciated.

It's basically saying you've written a function prototype that you haven't fulfilled.

In this case, it's the movieDisplay function. Note, for the prototype you've used a lower case 'm' but in the implementation you've use an upper case 'm'.

Oh snap!
