Hi,

I insert the user defined function in the main loop  (while(pos>=0)and has the following 3 errors:

 'Func_SLmin' - function declarations are allowed on global, namespace or class scope only

 expressions are not allowed on a global scope

 'double' - comma expected.

Kindly help

You defined two functions inside a while loop. Move them outside all functions (like at the bottom of the file.)

hi,

I put outdie the while loop but still have the following  3 errors:

expressions are not allowed on a global scope

'double' - comma expected

'Func_SLmax' - function not defined

Kindly help, thanks

We can't see your broken code. There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked.

1. We have no idea what line your "comma expected" is on including the few lines above that.
   
2. We have no idea what line your function call is.

hi,

I include the part of the codes  to make it clearer.

It has 3 errors as indicated. Is it the right way to put the user defined function outside the while loop as above?

expressions are not allowed on a global scope (Line 247)

'double' - comma expected  at line  (Line 263)

'Func_SLmax' - function not defined (Line 188)

Kindly help, many thanks

ok I managed to resolve the issue as I forget to provide int and double in front of variables. Thanks
