Simple Calculator

Calculator. I can't figure out what's wrong though. Anyone wanna help?

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

void instructUser();
double doDivideZero(double &);

int main()
{
    instructUser();

    double displayedVal;
    double newEntry;
    char command_character ;

    displayedVal = 0.0;

    cout << "  Enter accepted Operator:" ;
    cin >> command_character;
    while (command_character != 'Q' || command_character != 'q')
    {
        switch(command_character)
        {
        case 'c':
        case 'C': displayedVal = 0.0;
                  break;
        case '+': cout << "  Enter Number:";
                  cin >> newEntry;
                  displayedVal = displayedVal + newEntry;

I got bored and fixed it :x

error C2144: syntax error : 'double' should be preceded by ')'

if (newEntry == 0)
{
     doDivideZero(double &);
}

if you're wondering why you can't compile it, its because your not passing any variable in doDivideZero()
