What kind of help do you need? You haven't said what problems you are
having. Does it compile? Does it crash? Does it incorrectly print out the
latest football stats (like putting the 49ers in 1st place)??? :-)

It's a fair amount of work for someone to simply look at a program and guess
what it is supposed to do, and whether it will actually do that. We really
need more information from you as to what exactly is going wrong before we
can tell you why that might be the case.

Oh my. Please tell me that you at least indent your code? Also, you may
wish to take up the practice of writing small pieces of code _first_, see
if they compile, then add more (ie: incremental development). Start
with:

int main()
{
}

then compile.

Then add the basic frame of your snowfall class (ie: an empty class named
snowfall), and compile. Repeat in small steps until you get a complete
program. As you gain experience, these small steps may get larger.
Indentation of your code is there for your comprehension of your own code
(and other people trying to comprehend your code....).

A couple things to note:

1) void main() is non-standard. use "int main()".
2) If you write your extra functions before your main function, you have
no need to forward-declare them. Looking at sortsf in particular, you
declare it in main to take an object of type snowfall by value, you later
call it without passing a parameter at all, and finally define it taking
an array of snowfall. Make up your mind.....
3) With a quick glance it looks like you're doing something similar with
the other functions too.

These error messages are imo very clear: You've passed the
wrong number of arguments when calling these functions.
Also, your prototypes are wrong.

The prototypes from your originial post:

void sortsf(snowfall); /* requires one argument */
void writevalidsf(snowfall, ofstream&); /* requires two arguments */
void writeinvalidsf(snowfall, ofstream&); /* requires two arguments */

You also have other problems. The actual function definitions:
void sortsf(snowfall validsf[])
{
/* etc */
}

The prototype above does not match this function's signature.
The number of parameters matches, but the type is wrong.
'snowfall' and 'snowfall[]' are not the same type.

void writevalidsf(snowfall validsf[], ofstream& outfile)
{
/* etc */
}

The prototype above does not match this function's signature.
The number of parameters matches, but the type of the first one
is wrong. 'snowfall' and 'snowfall[]' are not the same type.

void writeinvalidsf(snowfall invalidsf[], ofstream& outfile)
{
/* etc */
}

The prototype above does not match this function's signature.
The number of parameters matches, but the type of the first one
is wrong. 'snowfall' and 'snowfall[]' are not the same type.

Your calls to these functions in 'main()':

sortsf(); /* no argument given */
writevalidsf(outfile); /* only one argument given */
writeinvalidsf(outfile); /* only one argument given */


when I click on the error messge, it brings me to this line on the
source code.

sortsf(validsf);
Wrong number of arguments.
writeheadings(outfile);
writevalidsf(validsf, outfile);
Wrong number of arguments.
writeinvalidsf(invalidsf, outfile);
Wrong number of arguments.
validsf[i].writetotalsf(outfile);

Fix your prototypes, and provide the correct number of arguments
when calling your functions.

Notes:

1. Note that 'main()' is required to have a return type of 'int'.
Not 'void', or any other type, but 'int'. Only.

2. And finally, when you post code here, please use indentation.
Without, your code is not easy to read.

3. I recommend you consider replacing your arrays with containers
which are more flexible and much less error prone.

HTH,
-Mike
