Beginner with small error (please help!)

[banq]

Hello, I am new to C++ and I am trying to call a function. I wrote this code with experience in other languages thinking it would work. I am getting an error 'expected a declaration'. It is a very basic print line just to check how functions work in C++. The winmain function is because I was getting an error earlier asking for something called winmain. 'unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function' Anyway here is my code:

  #include<Windows.h>
//Testing the function named foo
void foo(void)
{
	//this is what the function is going to do
	OutputDebugStringA("This is outputting to the debug string and it is the first thing I have ever printed in C++.\n");
}
//using winmain due to error caused earlier see post found on MSDN
int CALLBACK WinMain(
	HINSTANCE hInstance,
	HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
	LPSTR lpCmdLine,
	int nCmdShow);
{
	foo();
}

EDIT: got it working, removed the ; after int nCmdShow)

Hi am new to C++  well if you're a real newbie , why not start learning about c++ basics before moving directly into Windows programming, life would be abit easier for you- piece of advice ;)

appreciate this but I am one of those people who refuses to move on to another piece of code whilst one of their pieces of code has an error.
