warning cannot create pre compiled header: initialized data in header

i get this header when i comple my cpp in borland
this are my codes

my main.cpp

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include "functies.h"

void main()
{
	cout << "Druk op <Enter> om het spel te starten." << endl;

   speelveld();

	getch();
}

my header (functies.h)

Code:

int i = 0;

void speelveld(void)
{
	gotoxy(1,1);

 		for(i = 1 ; i <= 80 ; i++ )
 		{
 			cout << "*";
 		}

 		for(i = 1 ; i <= 24 ; i++ )
 		{
			gotoxy(1,i);
			cout << "*";
		}

	gotoxy(1,24);

 		for(i = 1 ; i <= 80 ; i++ )
 		{
 			cout << "*";
 		}

   gotoxy(24, 1);

   	for (i = 1 ; i <= 24 ; i++)
      {
      gotoxy(80,i);
      cout << "*";
      }
}

i am very stuck please help

thx already

First off, this code looks to be C++, yet the include statements are using C-style. In order to accomodate C++ -style, you would discard the .h on teh included standard headers, and in some cases add a c to the beginning like:

Code:

// C-style 
#include <string.h>
// C++ -style
#include <string>
// C-style
#include <time.h>
// C++ -style
#include <ctime>

Also you need to tell what namespace you're using like:

Code:

using namespace std;

Second, have you tried adding:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

to your functies.h
Third, given the fact, that you're using a header file to declare the actual function code, might confuse your compiler, so you might want to try adding a ; at the end of your functies.h like:

Code:

....
      gotoxy(80,i);
      cout << "*";
      }
};

Since I've never personaly used Borland, I can't say why it is acting this way.. Some compilers complain when your dont create a project to hold the files, when your using seperate files.. Perhaps that is the problem here too..
Else I can't say why it would come with an error like that.. Given that there isn't even a reference to a line in your code.

Last(ly). Since you're using conio.h with the reference to gotoxy(), your code isn't ISO/ANSI, so you might wound up with us giving advises that isn't conforming to your specific compiler

thx for your reply but i have put all my code and functions in one cpp file

the reason why i use header files because it would be more neat( or clean i dont know how to say)

and i dont realy know what namespaces are...

but thx for your explaining it explaned a lot

and i think that borland wants the files in a project but i dont know for sure and i dont have time to figure that out i am on a dead line for school
