Intro to Programming using C++ getting " undefined reference to '_Winmain@16' "

Question

Heres my code

//numbersandshit
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int name()
{
    int numb, sqnumb;

    for(numb=4; numb<=9; numb=numb+1)
    {   sqnumb=numb*numb;

        cout<<numb<<" "<<sqnumb<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Your program needs to provide a main() function because it's called by your system to start the program. Rename name() to main().

You need to define a main function.

int main()

Or

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

Since you're not using command line arguments, just rename name to main.
