undefined reference to 'Winmain@16' and ld returned l exit status

[pmusale]

I am trying to run following code in Code blocks and getting errors 'undefined reference to Winmain@16' and 'ld returned l exit status' when I build it.

  #include <iostream>
using namespace std;

bool accept3 ()
{
    int tries = 1;
    while (tries < 4) {
        cout << "Do you want to continue (y or n)? \n";
        char answer = 0;
        cin >> answer;
        switch (answer)
        {
        case 'y':
            return true;
        case 'n':
            return false;
        default:
            cout << "Sorry, I didn't get it! \n";
            tries = tries +1;
        }

    }
    cout << "I will take that for a no \n";
    return false;


}

Seems yo created a Windows app instead of a console app. One option is to copy your code, create a console app and paste it into main.cpp

Nope. I retried using console app but no luck. Other codes are working fine though.

Actually the problem is that your code doesn't have a main method.
The message about missing WinMain is just misleading.
Add a main method and it should work..

Oh yes, you are right! Got it now. Thanks! :-)
