I have been through this code several times, but it is still not working. It is in c++ and designed for an arduino microcontroller. When I try to upload/verify, I get this error:
morse_send:37:20: error: a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token
void MorseDot(){
^
morse_send:41:21: error: a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token
void MorseDash(){
^
morse_send:46:31: error: a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token
void GetChar(char tmpChar){
^
exit status 1
a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token
Here is my code:

char stringToMorse[] = "";
int audio = 8; // buzzer is connected to pin 8
int pitch = 1200; // music note/pitch

To my understanding, a token error means that I did not close a {}, [], or (), but I can’t find any such instance. Thanks for any help!
