error c2448

[tnixon22]

I am getting the above error code in my program stating -- "function-style initializer appears to be a function definition." The problem is that where the error is pointing to is a function definition. Does anyone have any idea whi I am getting, and how I can correct this error?

[AdventWolf]

I have no idea without looking at the code, can you post it?

[tnixon22]

the error is pointing to the bool function definition. thank you for your help

When you initialize the bool TestWinner function, it has 0 parameters.
bool TestWinner();

But when you write the function, you give it (table, letter).

[tnixon22]

I am still getting the same error, with declaring the parameters
bool TestWinner (char [][col], char);

What am I doing wrong?

[LB]

The declaration and definition must be exactly the same, with the exception that the declaration doesn't have to have the parameter names.
