Not sure why I can't compile...

[evilpickles]

I made a simple program, and it won't compile. Here's the program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int returnthis (int a; int b;) {
	return a + b;
}

int main ()
{
	int returnedint, a, b;
	cout << "Enter a number: \n";
	cin >> a;
		cout << "Enter a number: \n";
		cin >> b;
returnedint = returnthis(a,b);

		cout << "Result: " << returnedint;
		return;
}

When I try to build in MS visual C++ express, I get the following errors:

1>MyFirstCplusplusFunction.cpp(2): warning C4627: '#include <iostream>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use
1> Add directive to 'StdAfx.h' or rebuild precompiled header
1>MyFirstCplusplusFunction.cpp(21): fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "StdAfx.h"' to your source?

Can someone help, please?

You need to disable the 'using compiled headers' option. In the future, just make an empty project to avoid that.

Oh thank you, I did not know you could do that. I eventually followed the compilers reccomendation in the error window, and added "stdafx.h" which fixed my problem.
