Following a book from the library on C++ programming, unfortunately the CD that goes with the book is unavailable. While working on the chapter with the simple blackjack program, I entered all of the code the book gave me and tried to compile. I was missing a function for "whoWins", checked the function prototype in the header file and tried to write a function to match it and perform the function needed. Now when I try to compile I am getting and error c2448 - 'identifier' : function-style initializer appears to be a function definition. listed below are the code from both the header and source file but I don't understand the reason for the error. Can someone explain?

from the headerfile

//Output functions, sending messaages to the user
void announceCard( int theCard);
void announceHand( int theHand);
void announceResult( bool side, int theHand);
void whoWins(int playerHand, int houseHand);

from the sourcefile

void whoWins(playerHand, houseHand)
{
	if ((playerHand > houseHand) && (playerHand <= 21))
	{cout << "Player Wins" << endl;}
	else if ((playerHand > houseHand) && (playerHand > 21))
	{cout << "House Wins" << endl;}
	else {cout << "House Wins" << endl;}
return;
}

void whoWins(playerHand, houseHand)

Specify the types of the variables:

void whoWins(int playerHand, int houseHand)

Ok, I thought because the playerHand & houseHand were declared as int in the prototype I didn't have to specify them again. That fixed the error though so thank you, spent about 45 minutes writing and rewriting code, but didn't try that :-/ Got to love learning new languages.
