	while(nob!=0)
		cout << "\a";
		nob = nob-1;
}

The problem is in ur while statement. If your going to give multiple intructions inside a loop you have to use brackets "{}". Your function should instead look like this:

while(nob!=0)
{
 cout << "\a";
 nob = nob-1;
}

I didn't get to help. Sigh. The early bird gets the worm. We need more people with compile/runtime errors here....
