ok i was making an example code for my brother to see what it takes to code a really simple program and... i get... error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ();
{
	int number1;
	int number2;
	int number3 ( number1 + number2 );

	cout << "Please input 2 number variables: " << endl;
	cin << number1 << number2;
	cout << endl;
	cout << "The sum of your numbers is: " << endl;

	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

int main ();//<- semi colon

You put a ';' after int main(). Take that out and you should be good to go.

I dont think hes good to go yet lol what happens when you try to add to numbers together that have not been initalized? ... you bet garbage. Add your numbers together after you input them

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
	int number1;
	int number2;
	int number3; // ( number1 + number2 );

	cout << "Please input 2 number variables: " << endl;
	cin >> number1 >> number2; //cin is >> , cout is <<
	cout << endl;
	cout << "The sum of your numbers is: " << endl;
	number3 = number1 + number2;
	cout<<number3;

	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

** Renamed title to be more descriptive to discussion **

For future reference, helping address the issue of the question with a descriptive title will prepare someone looking over the list of topics to answer. "WHAT" doesn't really say anything other than "there is a problem", which is pretty obvious since you are posting under a C/C++ forum for problem solving

Glad to see that this problem was corrected.

Don't you have to include the C standard to use the function "system"?

Like this: (in the case of using C++)

#include <cstdlib>
