type name not allowed error
Oct 31, 2018 at 2:50pm UTC
I am trying to write a program that reads a text file and returns the most frequent and least frequent letter. but for some reason i am getting a type name not allowed error on my Letter_Stats for some reason. Any help would be appreciated.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77

Line 62/66 Letter_Stats
is the name of the struct. You want the name of the data/array which is stats
