    Compile Error:

    here's my compile error.
    Code:
    $ cc fig07_10.c
    /tmp/cc5AugyJ.o: In function `main':
    fig07_10.c:(.text+0x69): undefined reference to `convertToUpperCase'
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    
    void convertToUpperCase( char * );
    
    
    int main()
    {
    	char string[] = "characters and $32.98";
    
    	printf( "The string before conversion is: &#37;s", string );
    	convertToUpperCase( string );
    	printf( "\nThe string after conversion is: %s\n", string );
    	printf( "\nThe string after conversion is: %s\n",  string );
    
    	return 0;
    }
    
    
    
    void convertToUppercase( char *sPtr )
    {
    	while ( *sPtr != '\0' ) {
    		if ( islower( *sPtr ) )
    			*sPtr = toupper( *sPtr );
    
    		++sPtr;
    	}
    }

    I think gcc needs an extra argument but I don't understand why or what it is.

    Compare and contrast.

    Code:
    void convertToUpperCase( char * );
    ...should also be...
    Code:
    void convertToUpperCase(char* sPtr);
    Anything else is just bad practice. Do not leave out the parameter names in the prototypes.

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.
