Error message

[tnixon22]

I am getting error c2448 'TestWinner' : function-style initializer appears to be a function definition. The error is pointing to the bool function definition, but I am not sure why or how to correct the problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to correct this?

Could that be because table and letter don't have types?
Also, why did you declare (and use) the function without parameters?

[tnixon22]

Giving it parameters is giving me the same error. I am fairly new at this, so please bare with me.

[tnixon22]

To be honest with you, this is the first bool test that I have written.

[hamsterman]

odd. when I change it to bool TestWinner (char table[][3], char letter).. (I just noticed that table and letter are globals. Then this function doesn't need parameters at all) that error goes away.
You have others though. table(0,0) makes no sense. You probably meant table[0][0].

[tnixon22]

I realized the missing brackets, and figured out the parameter problem late last night. Thank you for your help.
