Vs2008: Error Lnk2019

[xboxrulz1405241485 0]

Hey guys I've got some errors. My friend told me it's missing the body of my function. However, my body is obviously there when you look at this post:

pointofsales.h:

#define LIMIT 100void posmath (int *quantity, double *price, char taxable);void initPOS();

stdheader.h:

#include <iostream>#include <cstdio>#include <cstdlib>#include <cmath>using namespace std;

pointofsales.cpp:

#include "stdheader.h"#include "pointofsales.h"void initPOS(){	cout << "Point of Sales" << endl;	cout << "==============\n" << endl;	int quantity[LIMIT], intCount = 0;	double price[LIMIT];	char taxable[LIMIT];	do {		cout << "Quantity: ";		cin >> quantity[intCount];		if (quantity[intCount] == 0){			intCount--;			break;		}		cout << "Price: ";		cin >> price[intCount];		cout << "Taxable [y/n]: ";		cin >> taxable[intCount];		intCount++;	} while (intCount <= LIMIT);	posmath(quantity, price, *taxable);}

libpos.cpp (not finished):

#include "stdheader.h"#include "pointofsales.h"void posmath (int *quantity, double *price, char *taxable){	int i, tqty = 0;	double tprice = 0, sprice = 0, ptax[LIMIT], ftax[LIMIT];	for (i = 0; i <= LIMIT; i++){		tqty += quantity[i];		if (*taxable == 'y'){			ftax[i] = price[i] * 0.05;			ptax[i] = price [i] * 0.08;		}		price[i] = price[i] + ftax[i] + ptax[i];	}}

Build Error:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

This is a console application, I tried both compiling it to x86 and x86_64.

Please help?

Thanks,

Modify the second line in your pointofsales.h to: void posmath (int *quantity, double *price, char *taxable);. Notice the missing * for the third parameter.

 

You need to do two more changes. Change the 22nd line in pointofsales.cpp to } while (intCount < LIMIT); and line 7 of libpos.cpp to for (i = 0; i < LIMIT; i++){. This will prevent a runtime stack error from throwing up because you are trying to access an element at an index greater than that of the declared arrays' size. If the array was not zero-based like we have in Visual Basic, you would have to check the upper bound with the <= operator and initialize the lower bound with 1. For zero-based arrays it is 0 for the lower and < for the upper bound checking operator.

Thanks, I can't believe I made such novice mistakes.I forgot that I was telling it to count more than the LIMIT allows.The compiler should be more specific because the error made no sense to me.Thanks,xboxrulz

After added structs, I'm getting LNK2019 errors again. What exactly is this LNK2019 error?
