I'm not sure what exactly is incorrect I have checked so many times and played with the code to get rid of the errors to no avail. Any help is appreciated.
as an explanation for you
the code you have typed is perfectly correct. It compiles cleanly. But the way things have been setup to complete the process to make a running app ('linking') is failing.
The linker is expecting to find an entry point called _WinMain (hence the error message). This is because when you created the project you said it was a windows app - which its not. YOu need to ask you prof
Also - when asking "why do I get this error?" always include the error in the question
