Doing a challenge I found on youtube to enhance myskills and had to follow the solution to get it, came across a problem.

I keep getting error code c3867: 'func': function call missing argument list; use '&func' to create a pointer to member

error occured on file "TicTacToeGame.cpp" line 24. it reads "printBoard;"

I don't see where a function called "func" is, but on line 24 of TicTacToeGame.cpp, you have the line printBoard; You need () to actually call the function.

Thank you so much! i knew it had to be such a small little error.

Yep, you're welcome, I've spent 2 hours+ very confuse one time trying to find the bug because I accidentally did int i = index_function(Width * y + x); instead of int i = Width * y + x; or something like that.
