                                }

it cause the error, please help me to fix those error, more over, I am not sure about the while, for ,do while statement, please explain more for me. thank you

the error is main must return int

I declared the void for main already
yes ,this is most likely my complete code

Is this your complete code ? Because I don't see any ending braces for your do_next_op function. Also what errors do you get, elaborate !!

[Se7Olutionyg]

yep, this is, I just edit mycode

[Denniz]

1. Please use "int main()". You are returning 0 at the end of main(), yet you declare that main() return void.

2. You lack a closing brace "}" and a return statement for do_next_op().

[stilllearning]

There are a host of compile errors in your code. accum = 0 .. missing semi-colon at the end.

Go through your compile errors and try to fix as many of those as you can, otherwise how are you going to understand what went wrong ?

he might expects us to do so.......

[stilllearning]

well I hope not :) .. one should really put in some effort !

" This program models a simple calculator which can add, subtract,multiply,divide, power"

I don't see any power operation in the program. If you meant to the ^ operator, it doesn't do power (at least in c++). It's an operator which works on bits. For power you need to implement a function.
