Getting errors when trying to compile in C++

Getting errors when compiling the code below. Errors are related to the graph function on line 121.  I'm just learning C++ so I'm not sure where I went wrong. Thx in advance.

//Reads data and displays a bar graph showing productivity for each plant.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <iomanip>
const int NUMBER_OF_PLANTS = 4;

void input_data(int a[], int last_plant_number);
//Precondition: last_plant_number is the declared size of the arraya.
//Postcondition: For plant_number = 1 throughlast_plant_number:
//a[plant_number-1] equals the total production for plant numberplant_number.

void scale(int a[], int size);
//Precondition: a[0] through a[size-1] each has a nonnegativevalue.
//Postcondition: a[i] has been changed to the number of 1000s(rounded to
//an integer) that were originally in a[i], for all i such that 0<= i <= size -1.
void graph(const int asterisk_count[], int last_plant_number);
//Precondition: asterisk_count[0] throughasterisk_count[last_plant_number-1]
//have nonnegative values.
//Postcondition: A bar graph has been displayed saying thatplant
//number N has produced asterisk_count[N-1] 1000s of units, foreach N such that
//1 <= N <= last_plant_number

void get_total(int& sum);
//Reads nonnegative integers from the keyboard and
//places their total in sum.

int roundd(double number);
//Precondition: number >= 0.
//Returns number rounded to the nearest integer.

int main( )
{
    using namespace std;
    int production[NUMBER_OF_PLANTS];

    cout << "This program displays a graphshowing\n"
         <<"production for each plant in the company.\n";

    input_data(production, NUMBER_OF_PLANTS);
    scale(production, NUMBER_OF_PLANTS);
    graph(production, NUMBER_OF_PLANTS);
 
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

//Uses iostream:

{
    using namespace std;
    for (int plant_number = 1;
                  plant_number <= last_plant_number; plant_number++)

            << "Enter production data for plant number "
            << plant_number << endl;
