I need help fixing a C++ white space detector - c++

Question

I need help fixing the following code, it is a c++ whitespace detector that uses different words to produce different outputs:
#include <algorithm>
#include <cctype>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string Line;
string firstWord[99];
string secondWord[99];
int lineFunction(string line) {
string line[199];
for (int i = 0; i < line.length(); i++) {
while (isspace(line[i]) == false) {
firstWord += line[i];
}
secondWord += line[i];
}
}
int main() {
cin >> Line;
lineFunction(Line);
if (firstWord == "A") {
if (secondWord == "B") {
cout << "AB";
}
}
}
The expected result when I input A B (with a space) should be the letters AB (without a space, to test how it works) printed onto the screen, as a result of the if statements, but I am trying to make the output configurable. The errors that I receive when I try to run this are:
main.cpp: In function ‘int lineFunction(std::string)’:

Here are some possible solutions to fix the errors.
#include <algorithm>
#include <cctype>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
// don't use
// using namespace std;
// don't use global variables
// string Line;
// string firstWord[99]; you need strings, not arrays
// string secondWord[99];
// use references to return multiple values and no return value
// alternatively you could return a std::pair
void lineFunction(std::string line, std::string &firstWord, std::string &secondWord) {
// string line[199]; you don't need this variable
// line.length() return unsigned int so you should compare with unsigned int
// this whole loop makes no sense
// for (unsigned int i = 0; i < line.length(); i++) {
// this would result in a infinite loop
// while (isspace(line[i]) == false) {
// if (!std::isspace(line[i])) {
// firstWord += line[i];
// }
// secondWord += line[i];
// }
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < line.length() && !std::isspace(line[i]); ++i) {
firstWord += line[i];
}
for (++i; i < line.length(); ++i) {
secondWord += line[i];
}
}
int main() {
std::string line;
// std::cin only reads until first whitespace
// std::cin >> line;
std::getline(std::cin, line);
std::string firstWord;
std::string secondWord;
lineFunction(line, firstWord, secondWord);
if (firstWord == "A" && secondWord == "B") {
std::cout << "AB";
}
}
