I keep getting the error saying unresolved external symbol_WinMain@16 referenced in function___tmainCRTStartup and another error in another line under it saying: error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

      #include <iostream>
      using namespace std;

      int addition (int a, int b)
      {
      int r;
      r=a+b;
      return r;
      }

      int main ()
      {
      int z;
      z = addition (5,3);
      cout << "The result is " << z;
      }

it's only a simple addition function program and I'm a beginner in C++ programming. please help.

Your code is good but you are using Visual Studio wrongly. When you create a project you must create a 'Win32 Console Application'. – john Aug 29 '15 at 07:38
@JoachimPileborg: The program isn't a Win32 program. It's just a simple console C++ app. – Behshad Aug 29 '15 at 09:25
@john: that's the right reason. thanks ;) – Behshad Aug 29 '15 at 09:30
