    }
    void AskQuestion (float x)
    {
        int one, two, answer;
        srand( time(0));
        one=rand()%500+1;
        two=rand()%500+1;
        cout<<"What is "<<one<<" "<<x<<" "<<two<<endl;
        cin>>answer;
        if(answer==one x two) {cout<<x<<endl;}
    }

    int main(){
    system("COLOR B");
    int one, two, answer;
    AskQuestion()
    }
'X' isn't a defined variable in AskQuestion. You can, however, use the '*' operator. Here is an example:

void AskQuestion(/* not using anything here */) {
    int one, two, answer;
    srand(time(0));
    one = rand()%500 + 1;
    two = rand()%500 + 1;
    std::cout << "What is " << one << " * " << two << std::endl;
    std::cin >> answer;

    if (answer == one * two)
        std::cout << "Correct!" << std::endl;
    else
        std::cout << "Wrong..." << std::endl;
}
But when i want to enter the function i want to do this :
void AskQuestion(/); or
void AskQuestion(+);
You could use a char to store the character, and switch based on it. Here is an example:

void AskQuestion(char op) {
    int one, two, answer;
    bool isCorrect = false;
    one = rand() % 500 + 1;
    two = rand() % 500 + 1;
    std::cout << "What is " << one << " " << op << " " << two << "? ";
    std::cin >> answer;

    switch (op) {
        case '+':
            if (answer == one + two) isCorrect = true;
        break;

        case '-':
            if (answer == one - two) isCorrect = true;
        break;

        case '*':
            if (answer == one * two) isCorrect = true;
        break;

        case '/':
            if (answer == one / two) isCorrect = true;
        break;
    }

    if (isCorrect)
        std::cout << "Correct!" << std::endl;
    else
        std::cout << "Wrong..." << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    srand(time(0));
    AskQuestion('+');
    AskQuestion('*');
    AskQuestion('-');
    return 0;
}
Thank you so much!
