Thread: simple first attempt on method

this is my first attempt on methods and im new for c programming.im using the Cygwin compiler and here's what i did

Code:

# include <stdio.h>


int add(int x,int y)
{
    int result =x+y;
    return result;


}


int main()
{


    int sum=add(5,12);
    printf("The addition of 5 and 12 is %d.\n", sum);
    //printf(sum);
    return 0;
}

I used netbeans 7.2 and compiled it using cygwin and im getting an error.any idea will be really helpful the file i saved is add.c

Welcome to the forum, but please - copy the error into your posts about an error. We can't read it, no matter how much we ask Santa for help with it.

Congrats on using code tags on your first post, btw!

Try removing the space after the # here

Code:

# include <stdio.h>
