Im having trouble locating the error on this code all help is appricated thank you

this is the code im working with

#include "camera.h"
using namespace std;

char ending[]="].jpg";

/* Execute the command using this shell program. */

void get_real_time(void) //FUNCTION PROTOTYPE: get_real_time()

void get_real_time (void)<-ERROR //FUNCTION: get_real_time:()

{
struct timeval tv;
time_t curtime;
gettimeofday(&tv, NULL);
curtime=tv.tv_sec;
strftime(getbuffer,30,"[%Y-%m-%d][%H-%M-%S-",localtime(&curtime));
milliseconds=tv.tv_usec;
sprintf(millisecondsstr, "%d", milliseconds);
// convert milliseconds integer to char
}

this is the error im getting

getcamera.cpp:8: error: expected init-declarator before "void"
getcamera.cpp:8: error: expected `,' or `;' before "void"

You must use ;

void get_real_time(void); //FUNCTION PROTOTYPE: get_real_time()

Man you need a good IDE to help you with your code, and read some tutorials about C/C++ programming!

A bit strong lottalava, even the most experienced programmers make this sort of typo from time to time.

What you do learn though mandogon is that a simple typo like this in the right place can produce my tens (even 100s) of errors. Learn to recognise it because as I said if you program for any length of time you will make this mistake more than once.
