C++ error expression cannot be used as function

Question

How can I edit my formula for

weekday=(day+2(month)+3(month)/5+year+year/4-year/100+year/400)/7

so that I dont get an error message saying \"e

Answer 1

The code 2(month) is function call syntax, as if 2 were a function... but it's not. Do you perhaps mean multiplication, such as 2 * month?

Answer 2

You need to enter an operator (*) for multiplication:

weekday=(day+2*(month)+3*(month)/5+year+year/4-year/100+year/400)/7;

If the operator is missing c(++) interprets it as a function call, wherebthe function name is e.g. 2.
