Function calling and passing problems

I have a few functions. Function A will get input from the user as will function B. Function C is to use data from functions A and B and calculate a value. I am getting compiling errors:

homework5.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
homework5.cpp:13: error: too few arguments to function ‘float burninations(float, float)’
homework5.cpp:22: error: at this point in file

This is my code....:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

float get_anger_level();

float get_arm_diameter();

float burninations(float anger_level, float arm_diameter);

int main()
{
float level = 0;
float diameter = 0;
float anger_level, arm_diameter;

return 0;
}


float get_anger_level() // "FUNCTION A"
{
float anger_level;

cout << "\nEnter Trogdor's anger level: " << endl;
cin >> anger_level;
return anger_level;
}

float get_arm_diameter() // "FUNCTION B"
{
float arm_diameter;
cout << "\nEnter the diameter of Trogdor's beefy arm: " << endl;
cin >> arm_diameter;
return arm_diameter;
}

float burninantions(float anger_level, float arm_diameter) // "FUNCTION C"
{
get_anger_level();
get_arm_diameter();
float burnats = 0;



const int CONSUMATEVS = 17;
int burningPeasants = 40;
burnats = (anger_level * (1+1/static_cast<float>(CONSUMATEVS)) + burningPeasants/static_cast<float>(CONSUMATEVS) + arm_diameter);
cout << burnats << endl;

return burnats;
}

You should edit your post and use code tags. They are a standard BBcode tag.

1. Function C as you have labeled it takes two floating point numbers, but you don't use them for anything.

2. You call Function A and B from C but you aren't storing the return value, so this is pointless.

3. You don't have anything in main, so your program won't do anything at all.

Sorry, I am new to the forums, haven't figured out how to post code yet.

What should I have in my main()
would it be burninations(level, diameter)

"You call Function A and B from C but you aren't storing the return value, so this is pointless."
Could you explain a little more. Functions are obviously very hard for me to grasp.

I really appreciate all help and answers.

I think you should decide exactly what it is you want to accomplish, because this code looks as if you are not sure what you want it to do.

Function A and B return a float value, but your code in function C is simply calling them and not storing the return value, which doesn't accomplish anything.

What I want function C to do is use the anger_level (Function A) and arm_diameter (Function B) values that were user input, and do some math with them. I want the math that is done to be stored as burnats and output this to the user.

I don't doubt that this is the most confusing code, and I really don't have much idea of what I'm doing when it comes to calling and passing functions. I learn best by example, but the examples are too hard to follow.
