[bravejuba]

Am a new programmer to the c++ language , i used to program and see the result of my programming in the easy way because i used turbo c++ program , but now i am using microsoft visual studio program to write and build my programs , now i am sort of lost because it's a new whole environment for me , the problem is that i had this program that i wrote and it was working on turbo c++ but now i get this error

Error 1 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int


my program is :

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
main()
{
double  a,b,c;
char g;
cout<<"\n\n          _____________________________\n";
cout<<"\n\n          ((   Currency  Converter   ))\n\n";
cout<<"          _____________________________";
choice:
cout<<"\n\n1-U.S Dollar To Iraqi Dinar  \n2-Iraqi Dinar  To U.S Dollar \n";
cin>>c;
if (c==1)
choice2:
{
cout<<"\n\n  _________________________________________________";
cout<<" \n\n  ((__$ U.S Dollar  To Iraqi Dinar Exchanging $__))";
cout<<"\n\n __________________________________________________";
cout<<"\n\n U.s Dollar :";
cin>>b;
cout<<" \n It Equals ( "<<b*1200<<" ) In Iraqi Dinar ";
cout<<"\n\n Choose Again ? Y/N \n ";
cin>>g;
if (g==*"y")
goto choice ;
else if (g==*"n") goto ending;
}

else if (c==2)
choice3:
{
cout<<"\n\n  _________________________________________________";
cout<<" \n\n  ((__$ Iraqi Dinar  To U.S Dollar Exchanging $__))";
cout<<"\n\n __________________________________________________";
cout<<"\n\n Iraqi Dinar :";;
cin>>a;
cout<<" \n It Equals ( "<<a/1200<<" ) In U.S Dollar ";
cout<<"\n\n Choose Again ? Y/N \n ";
cin>>g;
if (g ==*"y")goto choice;
if (g ==*"n")goto ending;
else goto blablabla;
}

else

{
cout<<"\n Error ... Please Choose The Correct Choice \n\n ";
goto  choice ;
}
blablabla:
cout<<"Bla Bla Bla ";
ending:
cout<<" \n\n\a *** ^_^ Thanks For Choosing My Modest Programs ^_^ *** ";
return 0;
}

thank you , and sorry for taking some of your precious time , hope that you answer me soon as possible ...

The main() function should have an int return type, lie this:
int main()

Other languages may let you omit the return type and then just assume it to be type int. However, C++ doesn't do that - you must specify the return type for all functions.

I just did What you said and its the same error :
Error 1 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

[coderHead]

Well I simply placed int in front of main() like this:

int main()

I was able to compile your program and it ran fine. It said that 5 US dollars are equal to 6000 Iraqi Dinar.

Make sure you are not capitalizing anything, like Int. Make sure it is lower case.

It ran OK for me in Dev-C++ (with and without int pre- main())
