What is going on here? PLEASE HELP!

I know the code is not quite done but even before then I am having errors I have never had before when working with functions or simple as !=. All of my !='s are erroring out saying that they are not operators that visual studio 2010 knows about. and the first brace of my functions are getting a missing header error that i was not getting before today.

HERE ARE THE ERRORS VISUAL STUDIO PROVIDED:

1>c:\users\nick\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\mp5\mp5\mp5.cpp(9): error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)
1>c:\users\nick\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\mp5\mp5\mp5.cpp(14): error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)
1>c:\users\nick\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\mp5\mp5\mp5.cpp(19): error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)

1> c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\system_error(425): could be 'bool std::operator !=(const std::error_code &,const std::error_condition &)'
1> c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\system_error(432): or 'bool std::operator !=(const std::error_condition &,const std::error_code &)'

1>c:\users\nick\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\mp5\mp5\mp5.cpp(63): fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

Remove all of the semicolons at the end of those lines. You are also missing semicolons in get_cWord and get_bWords.

void get_cWord(ifstream& fin, string cWord); // don't close your functions there with ";"


You declare the functions then tell the compiler with ";" stop here function declaration finished.

This results in your code afterwards :
1

3
 
{
fin >> cWord
}

to be loose and not to belong to anything
That's confusing the poor compiler ^.^

while(cWord != '\n') // don't think this works either (there is no overload of operator!= that
// compares a string and a char
// just write this:
while(cWord != "\n")

You need to compare a string with a string, double quotes, not single.
Try changing cWord != '\n' to cWord != "\n"
