Passing Values From Functions

Oh thanks i forgot to add that part into the code.

I'm still having trouble though passing the value of the average.

post code and error msg.

Error:'avg_function' undefined; assuming extern returning int

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int num_fahr_temps (void);
double avg_function (double array[], int numValues)
void input_fahr_temps (double array [], int numValues);
void output_temps (double array [], int numValues);

void abo_bel_equ (double array [], int numValues, double avg);

int main (void)

double avg_function (double array[], int numValues)


Missing the semi-colon in the proto-type.

This is where I get confused.

To return the value of the numValues I had to do the function "int num_temps (void)". I'm assuming if I wanted to return the value of the average I would do the function "double avg_function (void)" not a "double avg_function (double array[], int numValues)" function. But how does the "double avg_function (void)" know to use the values inputted from the array?

Sorry if that's confusing, but thats the best way I could describe it.

Why do you think that? If the function is supposed to compute the average of some values, it has to get them from somewhere, right?

But how does the "double avg_function (void)" know to use the values inputted from the array?

Maybe you should try and write the function and post it. Where are the values supposed to come from?

Sorry I'm a little confused on what function I should try. Do you mean the "double avg_function (void)" function? Because if I do that then the function doesn't know the values of the array.

If I do (void) avg_function (double array [], int numValues); I get an error from this line of code "avg = avg_function ()" in the main function. The error states that "there are too few arguements in function call".
