Unresolved externals

[jkazma13]

Can someone please help me with how to resolve this issue? It says I have 2 unresolved externals where the problem is in the function "int calculations()". Here are the two errors from Visual Studio:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

Hello jkazma13,

PLEASE ALWAYS USE CODE TAGS (the <> formatting button) when posting code.
It makes it easier to read your code and also easier to respond to your post.
http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/jEywvCM9/
http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/z13hAqkS/
Hint: You can edit your post, highlight your code and press the <> formatting button.
You can use the preview button at the bottom to see how it looks.

Lines 59 and 72 are very nice proto types and should not be there and should be above main with the others. if you remove the semicolon from the end of the line they become functions which should not be in the "calculations" function.

Line 97 not the best name for a function. It is to easy to confuse "main1" with "main" as I did.

Other than line 6 being a bad idea and should not be used. I will have to look at the program more in depth tomorrow.

Hope that helps,

Andy
