another header problem...

Okay, so I have a different problem this time. Now I'm trying to call essentially a random variable from a function in a header in order to determine the value of a variable in the main program. Looks like this
Main program:
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
 
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include "randmon.h"

int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    int monster=monster_determine();
    switch (monster)
    {
           case 1:
                cout << "You must fight a boar!" << endl;
                break;
           case 2: 
                cout << "You must fight an Ogre!" << endl;
                break;
           case 3: 
                cout << "You must fight a tiger!"<<endl;
                break;
                           }
           cout << "Your use of header file seemed to work." << endl;
           
           system ("pause");
           return 0;
           
}


Header file randmon.h:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
#ifndef MONSTER_H
#define MONSTER_H

int monster_determine(int)
{srand(time (NULL));
 return (rand()%3+1);
}


What I get is this compile error:
in file... (the header file)
unterminated #ifndef

the #ifndef and #define directives look just like the did in the previously mentioned add.h problem... so what is going on this time?

Sorry, in header file fucntion is defined as
int monster_determine()

rather than int monster_determine(int)

the other gave more errors and I was trying to pare down errors to the fewest possible before continuing.

Ah, solved it on my own, forgot #endif at the end of the header. *facepalm*
