Expected unqualified-id before '{' token

First off, I was wondering what exactly does this error mean? I always see it but have no idea how to fix it because I don't know exactly what is wrong.

Here is the code and the error shows up for line 83:

}


To be clear, this is not all of my code. I didn't feel it necessary to copy over the other functions as there were no other error messages.

If needed however, I can post the rest of it.

In this case it appears that you have an extra { on line 83.

Are you sure? I need that to open up for get_avg(int list[MAX_TEMPS] ... etc etc.

double get_avg(int list[MAX_TEMPS], int num); // This is a prototype
double get_avg(int list[MAX_TEMPS], int num)
{ // This is a definition.


If that bracket is there to open up the get_avg function, then you need to move it to directly after the double get_avg(int list[MAX_TEMPS], int num) line and get rid of the semicolon on that line.

Ah thank you that seems to have done the trick!
