// MAIN
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << " Welcome to Kesmere\n\n\n ";
int PName();
system("pause");
return 0;
}
int PName()
{
char name[50];
cout << " Enter your name\n\n";
}
What am i doing wrong?

Trying to make a simple program lol. The main function wont call the PName() It just displays the welcome to thens ays press any key to enter.
// MAIN#include <iostream>using namespace std;int main(){ cout << " Welcome to Kesmere\n\n\n "; int PName(); // this is a forward declaration of int PName() - it does nothing PName(); // this is a function call int x = PName(); // this is function call, where the return value is assigned to x system("pause"); return 0;}int PName(){ char name[50]; cout << " Enter your name\n\n"; return 0; // if return type is not void - you must return something}
You're declaring the function in the main loop. That's why it will compile, but it won't actually call it.
What you need to do is get rid of the int in int PName(), and also declare the function above, so you can actually call it.
