    Is this correct

    #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
    int c=10, d=20;
    void swap(int *c, int *d);
    void change(int *c, int *d);

    printf("Before swap c=%d , d=%d ,", c,d);
    swap(&c,&d);
    printf("After swap c=%d , d=%d ,", c,d);
    }

    void swap(int *c, int *d)
    {
    change(&c,d);
    }

    void change(int *c, int *d)
    {
    int t;
    t=**c;
    **c=*d;
    *d=t;
    }

    I am getting a compilation error

    kan1usp4.c:19: warning: type mismatch with previous implicit declaration
    kan1usp4.c:15: warning: previous implicit declaration of `change'
    kan1usp4.c:19: warning: `change' was previously implicitly declared to return `
    nt'
    kan1usp4.c: In function `change':
    kan1usp4.c:21: invalid type argument of `unary *'
    kan1usp4.c:22: invalid type argument of `unary *'

    On the face of it the program looks fine. But, then why is the compilation error.

    Thanks..Jack.

    hmm.... Just try this.

    Code:
    #include "stdio.h"
    
    void swap(int *a, int *b)
    {
    	int temp;
    
    	// swap the values
    	temp = *a;
    	*a =   *b;
    	*b = temp;
    }
    
    int main()
    {
    	int x = 5, k = 10, temp;
    
    	printf("\n Before swap() : 'x' = %d , and 'k' = %d", x, k);
    	swap(&x, &k); // Swap the values of variables 'x', and 'k'
    	printf("\n After  swap() : 'x' = %d, and 'k' = %d", x, k);
    
    	return 0;
    }
    Try not to use something like -> int **c, just use one * ( *c) ...
