Calculator program help please?

noylekul (47)
Ok, so I am writing a calculator program for class, but I keep getting an error that says:
1

Calculator.cpp: In function 'int main()':
Calculator.cpp:40: error: 'multiply' was not declared in this scope


I am confused... divide works, not multiply though. Some help please?

You did neither declare the function prototype of multiply at the function prototype section nor did you provide the implementation of multiply before the calling function, so multiply is unknown when the compiler parses the main function

You're missing the prototype for it.

multiply has to be declared before main calls it. This means either moving the function so it's above main, or making a prototype for it.
