Can't figure out why this program won't run... (C++ hw help)?

menu(operation, n1, n2, d1, d2);
return;
Your main program is declared as returning an <int> but your <return> statement does not supply a return value.
Just above that, your call to menu () needs to be inside the <while> loop, otherwise, <operation> never changes and you will have an infinite loop (unless the user enters zero the first time.
