Function not being Called

jesseb96 (10)
Hey guys! I'm working on an assignment for my Computer Science course in college. I've currently ran into a problem with functions. For some reason I can't get the void function to get called into main. It only shows the first function being called. Anyone know how I can fix this?

In main you cant have void infront of findHighest. Should look like:
findHighest (double north_east, double south_east, double north_west, double south_west);

not

void findHighest (double north_east, double south_east, double north_west, double south_west);
gunnerfunner (2127)
void findHighest (double north_east, double south_east, double north_west, double south_west);
you use this format to declare and/or define functions, to actually call functions you should not have the datatype identifiers, so it should be just:
findHighest (north_east, south_east, north_west, south_west);
That said your code is quite error-prone and depends on getting the order of user-input just right. A more robust approach would be to do something like:
1
2
3
4
5
 
struct Sales
{
	std::string m_division;
	double m_salesFigures;
}

Then you could sort Sales objects by m_salesFigures using std::vector<Sales> and as the names are attached to the sales figures there would be no ambiguity which figures belong to which division
