I am having problem compiling this code for swapping two numbers using functions, here's my code:

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void swap(int,int)
void main()
{
clrscr();
int a,b;
cout<<"Enter two numbers a and b: ";
cin>>a>>b;
swap(a,b);
cout<<"After swapping a and b are "<<a<<" and "<<b;
getch();
}
void swap(int a, int b)
{
int t;
t=a;
a=b;
b=t;
}

I'm getting 'Declaration Syntax Error' at void main()
Can you tell me what is wrong? Thanks!

If you're learning C++ (looking at your code and the way it won't work I assume you are) you might want to get yourself a compiler that's not some relic of the Dark Ages. Grab a copy of the latest version of g++ your OS can handle or Visual C++ if you use Windows.

Solution 1

You are missing a semi-colon at the end of your swap function prototype.
