エラー：予期した '、'または ';' before '{' token

-4

私はこれに非常に簡単な答えがあると確信していますが、私は何時間も探していて、それを理解することはできません。タイトルによれば、私はコードにコメントしたエラーが出ます。すべてが正しい構文であるように思われるので、私はそれが何であるか分かりません。エラー：予期した '、'または ';' before '{' token

    how to tackle making a function for an arc tangent as all the information 
    I could find online just had you kinda guess what the end result might be, 
    so I used the math.h file for this and only this function.
