help please

[seawolfmoose]

thats just it is im stuck at where you see just trying to get the inputs and cant seem to get around getting the inputs in first useing those first two

It seems like they've already written all that code for you. Are you having trouble actually using the functions?

[seawolfmoose]

yup. how i have it written keeps erroring out

[Zhuge]

First call readfracproblem() to get the data from the user, populating some variables. Post the code you have in main() to do that.

[seawolfmoose]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void getfrac (int&, int&);
void readfracproblem(int& num1, int& denom1, int& num2, int& denom2, char& op);

int main ()
{
int num, denom;
cout <<" enter a common fraction as 2 integers seperated by a slash";
getfrac (num, denom);
cout <<" fraction is " << num << " / " << denom << endl;
}

void getfrac (int& numerator, int& denomanator)
{
char slash;
cin >> numerator >> slash >> denomanator;
}


void readfracproblem(int& num1, int& denom1, int& num2, int& denom2, char& op)
{
char slash;
getfrac (num1,slash, denom1);
cin >> op;
getfrac (num2,slash, denom2);
}
even this isnt helping, it now says it doesnt take 3 arguments

Now you declare and define getfract to take 2 arguments and pass 3 to it.
getfrac (num1,slash, denom1);
does not match
void getfrac (int& numerator, int& denomanator)

do you see why that is ?
