I have NEVER had this experience before while coding my past assignments. For some reason, I keep getting this error that says
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup.
I looked it up on google and people have been saying it's because I should've created a windows APPLICATION program instead of a windows CONSOLE. BUT THEY ARE WRONG! I've ALWAYS done windows console and this has NEVER popped up! Why is this happening to me?! This is my final project and I can't even get started because of this error!
I've TRIED creating a windows APPLICATION program and copy/pasted the same source code/header files and tried building it, BUT a different error pops up then. So I looked up that error on google and people have been saying that it's because I haven't created a windows CONSOLE application! So these errors keep putting me in circles!!!
How do I get rid of this stupid error?! Please help.
To explain in detail here's what I did to create this project:
1) Create a windows console application >> empty project
2) Created a new header file and pasted in the appropriate code from a different header
3) Created a new source file and pasted in the appropriate code from a different source
**I did save and move these files to its appropriate places, yet the error still occurs.
Here is my header and implementation code (I have more but I wanted to see if these two could even build correctly--and they can't)
