can anyone be specific with me on trying to figure out this error....I have been reaqding my book and looking all over the net trying to solve it but all i have left is these two errors!!!!!!!

help please

First, that is a linker error - it seems you have not defined ProcessChoice(int) in an appropriate place. Also, surely 99% of those lines of code have nothing to do with the problem. Pare down the code to about 20 lines that produces the same problem and then we can take a look. You may also want to use code=cplusplus so syntax highlighting gets used.

The error message is quite clear -- you failed to code the function named get_record().

He hasn't just failed in coding the function AncientDragon he literally hasn't coded get get_record() ... ;)

And very bad coding style with the functions process_choice() and add_record() you are calling the functions but inserting the record literally whats the use man ??? Take the inputs from user and feed... If you want to do the same for 100 records according to your function you need to write in 100 records into program yourself. Thats bad.

You have just removed the essence of calling functions,the whole concept of modulation is gone here.

commented: Couldn't agree more :) +36

well how would i fix this?...I took am online self tought computer programming class so things are not that clear to me...

I usually write down a code as best as I can and then try to fix everything up by what the errors say...I know it is a bad approach but I dont know what else to do..

Ok, here is some help -- I've reworked part of that function, you should be able to finish it. There are more you could do to make it even better, but we'll just start with this format. Write the other case statements in a format similar to the one I wrote for case 2.
