Getting an error, namely "unresolved external symbol" - c++

Question

I have just started learning DirectX, and I am trying to implement it with the use of the C++ language. I have started reading a book about this problem, named Beginning DirectX 10 Game Programming. Nevermind, I am running in to a problem. I have added the needed libraries and have included the necessary files with Visual Studio. The error is as follow:
Error 26 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "bool __cdecl InitDirect3D(struct HWND__ *,int,int)" (?InitDirect3D##YA_NPAUHWND__##HH#Z) referenced in function _WinMain#16 C:\Users\Robert\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\DirectXBook\exampleWithDirectX1\SourceCode.obj exampleWithDirectX1

And where is this function
bool InitDirect3D(HWND hWnd, int width, int height);
defined?
You defined it as InitDirect3d instead of InitDirect3D that is instead of 'd' you should write 'D'
