I considered forcing you to post the actual error message rather than the error code because most people haven't memorized all of the codes for Visual C++. But if you prototype your min() function, you'll fix those two and be left with the rogue semicolon in one of your output statements.

j = min(A,i);
At this point, the compiler is not aware of any function named min that takes an int-pointer and an int.

cout <<"A.) Insert NEW Student Record."<<endl
<<"B.) print all Student Record."<<endl;
<<"C.) Sorting."<<endl;

Take a good look at the end of that second line.

so i just have to change the code

j = min(A,i);

???

I believe your problem(s) have already been pointed out, but ..

anyone know what is this error

Microsoft has documented their compiler/linker error/warning codes, so, you can always look those up on MSDN, for example Compiler Error C2780.

You either need to forward declare you min function or just move it to be above the class. C++ uses a single pass compiler unlike java that uses a dual pass.

Of course the way the function min is written it is very likely not to work, cause a segfault even because it accesses the 1000th element of an array of size 6.
