Using ! to evaluate boolan function results

[joatmon]

I'm stuck on a function call:

bool confirmThis(string response);

int main()
string response = "";
cout << "Please enter a number: ";
getline(cin, response);

if !(confirmThis(response)) {barkAtUser();}
return 0;
}

bool confirmThis(string response) {
return false; //just for testing
}

I get a syntax error on my function call. (it doesn't like the !) Can anybody see why? Thanks.

if (!confirmThis(response)) {barkAtUser();}// ! must be inside parentheses

Thanks! That worked.
