Please help me

I am a little new to this programming stuff, so take it easy on me.
I am trying to learn simple arrays, and functions so i made a dumb program up that is like a debit machine for 5 people :P
i keep getting this error though:

Thanks for your help and time!

I think that the problem is that your project is not a console application. If you are using MS VC++ then you should select new project as a console application.
Yeah that was the original problem! Thanks for your help.
My program now compiles, but there is no output. i simply get the "Press any key to continue" command.
Does anyone have a solution?
for (int j = 0; j > 0; j++)

the loop in main never executes.
