Hey! I just started learning C++ last month, so I am not that good yet.
I am trying to write functions to compute the total surface area, lateral surface area, and volume of a right-circular cylinder. So I wrote the code, and it makes perfect sense to me. When I compiled it the first time I had 17 errors. I went through and fixed them, however I continue to get 3 errors. They are the same error for 3 lines in a row; error C2062: Type double unexpected. I thought that perhaps I had written "double" somewhere I didn't need, but that doesn't seem to be it. I have spent several hours trying to find the problem to no avail.
If you could help me without telling me exactly what to do, that would greatly appreciated!
