    function declaration issues

    this is just a small portion of a program i'm working on, but i'm not really sure what im doing wrong with the declaration and use of these functions.. I "understand" what its telling me, but not sure how to fix the errors at the bottom of the page. any suggestions?? thanks..


    Code:
    float CalcGross(float hrsWkd, float payrate);
    float CalcFICA(float ytd, float gross);
    
         float CalcGross(float hrsWkd, float payRt)
            {
                    float gross = (hrsWkd * payRt);
                    return gross;
            }
    
            float CalcFICA(float ytd, float gross)
            {
                    if(ytd >= 67000.00)
                            ficaTax = 0.00;
                    else if ((ytd + gross) <= 67000.00)
                            ficaTax = (gross * ficaRate);
                         else ficaTax = (67000.00 - ytd) * ficaRate;
    
                    return ficaTax;
    
            }

    lab2.c: In function âmainâ:
    lab2.c:70: error: static declaration of âCalcGrossâ follows non-static declaration
    lab2.c:16: error: previous declaration of âCalcGrossâ was here
    lab2.c:76: error: static declaration of âCalcFICAâ follows non-static declaration
    lab2.c:17: error: previous declaration of âCalcFICAâ was here

    Do you by any chance have these program statements inside your main() function?

    If so, you should know C does not support nesting of function definitions. That is, you can't define a function inside a function. Try moving the two function definitions above main() on your page and eliminating the declarations altogether.

    It seems like you're not posting all of your code. I would not expect these
    errors from this code frag.

    True he shold have posted more of his code...

    I took the hint from the error messages ... "In function main..."

    Too bad the compiler did not produce a better diagnostic.
