Functions won't compile

geharbison (40)
I can't get this code to compile. There are several global variables that I want to use. I can't get the variable "count" to be recognized, thought it seems that the others are, I only say that because there aren't any errors being reported by the compiler for them. I also am having trouble getting the return function to work correctly.

You have several problems:

1) Line 51. You're missing a } terminating the function. The } on line 49 terminates the switch. The } on line 50 terminates the while.

2) calcAverage is missing a void in front of it and shouldn't have the ; after it.

3) Line 58. Where is lowest defined?

4) Line 58 & 101. The spelling of findlowest doesn't match the forward declaration at line 8 (findLowest).

5) Your couts at line 64, 73, 80, 87, 92 are missing semicolons.

6) Line 116. You need a semicolon after tick<5

7) Your increment of ticks at lines 120,124, 128, 132, 136 need semicolons.

8) You assignment of lowest at lines 123, 127, 131, 135 need semicolons.

9) Line 138. You're missing a } for the for statement.

Where should I define lowest? "count" is supposed to be global, why is it not recognized?
