C++ Arrays resulting in arrays

Question

Im having a compiler error: "expected unqualified id before '{' token" on line 94

It seems all my brackets are in tact but I can't find a solution to this problem

The code is fine until this part...

    getline(inFile, Name);
}

...marking the end of int main(), followed by...

{

...which is what the compiler is complaining about. This is neither the beginning of a function (no return type / identifier / parameter list), nor the beginning of a namespace (no namespace, no identifier), nor anything else that would make sense at this point. If this is to introduce a new block to main() and the } above was in error, then be told that you cannot define functions inside functions, as that would be what the next few lines do...

void printArray( const double list[],const int length){
for(int index=0; index<length; index++)
    cout << list[index] <<"  ";

   }

    void loadArray(fstream& in, double list[],const int length){

       for(int index=0; index<length; index++)
        in>>list[index];
}

...then followed by stand-alone code, which would indicate that you still consider yourself to be inside a function (main()?) as you cannot have code outside of functions...

cout <<"\n___________________________________________________________\n";
cout <<setw(6)<<"\nWEEK\t\t(ordered low to high -->)  ";

...followed by the beginning of another function definition...

void selectionSortAsc(double list[], int length){

...repeating the pattern of function-definition-apparently-inside-a-function-but-not-really-being-in-a-function a couple of times, followed by...

    }
return 0;

...noting the absence of a closing }, at which point I throw down my crystal ball in disgust and stop trying to figure out what you intended to do there.
