slot machine in c++

[dirtysouth6975]

I need some help. I am getting an error of: local function definitions are illegal. What does this mean? Can anybody help me out a little? Thank you.

One of the instructions in the forum guidelines, which you like all other smart people read, says to use CODE tags. Why didn't you use them?

And, uh, mind telling us the exact error displayed by your compiler? Yes, that means you actually have to copy/paste it.

[dirtysouth6975]

I am sorry, I am new at this. What is CODE tag? My errors were at slotMachine::ca lculatePayout, ""displaySpinRe sults, ""displayTotals , "" insertCoin, ""pullHandl e, ""Random, and ""spinWheel .

[oler1s]

If you read the guidelines, it would say that surrounding all code, you should put [CODE ] and [/code]. This preserves formatting and indentation in code, which means we can actually read it and help you.

And, I don't think you quite understand what I mean by copy-paste the error messages. There's an error because your compiler says something. You need to copy and paste those error messages exactly. Not tell me what functions they refer to, or what you think they mean. I can't diagnose your problem until I see precisely what those error messages say.

And for the code tag, I need to type[code] where indention needs to go. I just need clarification.

EDIT: It will take me a while to fix all the problems. With the formatted source code, it should be easy to see that the issue is a missing brace for displayMenu. So add a closing brace before pullHandle.
