What line is the error on?

[Mathhead200]

On line 36 you call to the lower function before it's declaration.

if (lower(word[j]) > lower(word[j+1]))

Same problem on line 37 with the swap function.

swap(word[j], word[j+1]);

Also the lower function expects a string[] but you pass it a string.

What is your syntax error? Copy and past it here. Also where does the user input the names. If I'm not mistaken, your trying to pass "name" to "GetNames" in the main, which you haven't done anything. Try something like:

int main()
{
       string name[MAX_NAMES]; //if you're using a for loop then use it in the main.
      cin >> name;
//then add the rest and pass "name" to the functions.
//also your "int i" isn't being used anywhere in the main.
}

its tolower //not lower um in your header try adding #include <cctype> and cut and paste const int MAX_NAMES = 10; to your main.
