Character passing through functions

[treechoper]

i am having trouble with program, can someone tell me what' s wrong?

insert

#include <stdio.h>

void asd (const char phase);

int main (void){
    char phase[5]; 
    while(1==1){
         printf("Enter Phase > ");
         gets(phase);
         if(strcmp(phase,"TTYL")==0){
           printf("talk to you later\n");
           system("PAUSE");
           return (0);
         void asd (const char phase);
    }
}

void asd (const char phase){
     if(strcmp(phase,"CU")==0){
           printf("see you\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,":-)")==0){
           printf("I am happy\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,":-(")==0){
           printf("I am unhappy\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,";-)")==0){
           printf("wink\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,"??)==0){
           printf("sleepy\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,"TA")==0){
           printf("totally awesome\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,"CCC")==0){
           printf("Canadian Computing Competition\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,"CUZ")==0){
           printf("because\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,"TY")==0){
           printf("thank-you\n");
         }else if(strcmp(phase,"YW")==0){
           printf("you are welcome\n");
         }else {
           printf("What The Hell???\n");
               }
}

the passing of char phase doesn't work.

[Adak]

phase is the name of a char array.

When you pass an array name to a function, you're passing a pointer to the array's base address.

Make the parameter "char *phase, in the receiving function. (or char phase[]).

What Adak said, and I'm surprised that code would even compile after looking at this line (unless you typed it in the thread window).

         }else if(strcmp(phase,"??)==0){
           printf("sleepy\n");
