need help

[undecked0]

Hey guys need some help, im a noob when it comes to c++ but im having an issue when it comes to 2 parameters in a function. Im trying to match my code with the sample output but having no luck and was wondering if anyone can guide me into what im doing wrong. thanks

// Demonstrates passing arguments to function parameters.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

// TODO: Write function prototype here. This function should be:
// Name: PrintLine
// Parameter(s): howMany & symbolToPrint (use appropriate data types)
// Returns: <nothing>
void PrintLine(int howMany, int symbolToPrint);


//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

int main()
{
	/* TODO: Call (invoke) the function where necessary to
	produce output as shown in sample (below).

	NOTE: You will need to break-up this long output
	statement into at least 3 separate output statements.
	*/
	PrintLine(int howMany, int symbolToPrint);
	cout << "          Simple C++ Integer Types" << endl
		<< "            (Microsoft Specific)" << endl;
	PrintLine(int howMany, int symbolToPrint);
	<< "Data type                Range" << endl;
	PrintLine(int howMany, int symbolToPrint);
		<< "char: " << setw(20) << CHAR_MIN << " to " << CHAR_MAX << endl
		<< "short:" << setw(20) << SHRT_MIN << " to " << SHRT_MAX << endl
		<< "int:  " << setw(20) << INT_MIN << " to " << INT_MAX << endl
		<< "long: " << setw(20) << LONG_MIN << " to " << LONG_MAX << endl;
		PrintLine(int howMany, int symbolToPrint);
		cout << endl;
	return 0;
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// TODO: Write the PrintLine function definition here
// Be sure that the function heading matches the prototype above

void PrintLine(int howMany, int symbolToPrint)


// PrintLine()
// prints symbolToPrint repeatedly (as defined by howMany) on one line

thanks, i was looking into to but im still a little confused. once i declare my function which is PrintLine(int howMany, int symbolToPrint); and then i want to put in certain spots depending on if its * or - how would i set it up in output statements. thats where im confused

EDIT: so here is an update what i've done, I've managed to get the sample output but only with the * and not the dashes. Was wondering what ive done wrong and would greatly appreciate some help guys!

	int howMany;
	int symbolToPrint;

	PrintLine(howMany, symbolToPrint);
	cout << endl;
	cout << "          Simple C++ Integer Types" << endl
		<< "            (Microsoft Specific)" << endl;
	PrintLine(howMany, symbolToPrint);
	cout << endl;

	{
		cout << '*';
	}
	for (int symbolToPrint = 1; symbolToPrint <= 45; symbolToPrint++)
	{
		cout << '-';

}

// PrintLine()
// prints symbolToPrint repeatedly (as defined by howMany) on one line
