Problem with a function

[elmurp]

I'm currently having a problem with the void function getdata in my program I'm writing. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong and I could use some help. I'm a novice at this so I'll try my best to follow any instructions.
Here's my code...

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>

using namespace std;

struct birdlist
{
    string species;
    int birdCount;
};

void getdata (ifstream& inFile,  birdlist [], int& listSize);
void printArray (birdlist list [], int listSize);
void selectionSort( birdlist list[], int listSize);

const int MAX = 200;

string city;
string species;
int birdcount;

int main()
{
    string filename;
    ifstream infile;
    birdlist list [MAX];
    int number;



    cout << "Input the name of the file you wish to open... (followed by txt.)" << endl;
    cin >> filename;


    infile.open (filename.c_str());

    getdata (infile, birdlist, number)

}


void getdata (ifstream infile, birdlist [], listSize)
   {
       string filename;
       string species;
       int birdCount;

       listSize = 200;

       infile >> species;
       infile >> birdcount;

       getline(infile,city);
       cout << city << endl;
       cout << endl;

       while(infile)
    {

        infile >> species;
        infile >> birdcount;

        cout << species << setw(5) << right << birdcount << endl <<endl;

    }
        infile.close ();
    }

|41|error: expected primary-expression before ',' token|

I notice that on line 41 you seem to be missing a terminating semicolon.

Also, getdata()'s implementation doesn't match its prototype, and some of the parameters don't have types given.

Rookie mistake haha. Well I just fixed those and I'm still getting errors for the getdata function. I feel like I'm implementing it wrong when I call it to int main, but I'm unsure where my problem lies for certain.

Post your updated code and all the errors you are getting and we can try to help you understand the error.

Straightforward enough. 'listSize' wasn't declared anywhere.
