PRS Help

I know ya'll have probably seen this one a thousand times but would appreciate some help. Here's the code:

Header File:

Code:

/* The game of paper, rock, scissors. */

#include <ctype.h>				/* for isspace() */
#include <stdio.h>				/* for printf(), etc */
#include <stdlib.h>				/* for rand() and srand() */
#include <time.h>				/* for time() */

enum p_r_s1	{paper, rock, scissors,
			game, help, instructions, quit};

enum outcome {win, lose, tie, error};

typedef		enum p_r_s1		p_r_s1;
typedef		enum outcome	outcome;

outcome		compare(p_r_s1 player_choice, p_r_s1 machine_choice);
void		prn_final_status(int win_cnt, int lose_cnt);
void		prn_game_status(int win_cnt, int lose_cnt, int tie_cnt);

void		prn_help(void);
void		prn_instructions(void);
void		report(outcome result, int *win_cnt_ptr, int *lose_cnt_ptr, int *tie_cnt_ptr);
void		report(outcome result, char *player_choice, char *machine_choice);
p_r_s1		selection_by_machine(void);
p_r_s1		selection_by_player(void);

Main File:

Code:

#include "p_r_s1.h"

int main(void)
{
   int       win_cnt = 0, lose_cnt = 0, tie_cnt = 0;
   outcome   result;
   p_r_s1    player_choice, machine_choice;

   srand(time(NULL));              /* seed the random number generator*/
   prn_instructions();
   while ((player_choice = selection_by_player()) != quit)
      switch (player_choice) {
      case paper:
      case rock:
      case scissors:
         machine_choice = selection_by_machine();
         result = compare(player_choice, machine_choice);
         report (result, &win_cnt, &lose_cnt, &tie_cnt);

      case game:
         prn_game_status(win_cnt, lose_cnt, tie_cnt);
         break;

I keep getting the following errors:

main.cpp(9) : warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'time_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data

Linking...

main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl report(enum outcome,int *,int *,int *)" (?report@@YAXW4outcome@@PAH11@Z) referenced in function _main

Debug/p_r_s1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I'm told that the function prototype and definition don't match number of items and correct types in the header and main files but I can't see where, my eyes hurt looking for it

Thanks

1. I've just started C about 3 weeks ago, so chill. I'm sure your first code was such a star studded performance.
2. p_r_s1 is the name of the source file.

If this is your way of constructive criticism, please don't reply I'd rather not have your help.

Actully i was trying to help you but you edited so i decided not to. cause I had already typed 2 different responses because you edited twice. Anyways time to slam you with neg rep for being a jerk to me for trying to help you out.

Code:

srand(time(NULL));

main.cpp(9) : warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'time_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data

This is telling you that the time function returns a time_t while srand expects an unsigned int. In this case you can use a cast.

main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl report(enum outcome,int *,int *,int *)" (?report@@YAXW4outcome@@PAH11@Z) referenced in function _main

This is telling you that the report function with this prototype:

Code:

void		report(outcome result, int *win_cnt_ptr, int *lose_cnt_ptr, int *tie_cnt_ptr);

and called from the main function is missing. You could ask whoever wrote the code for it or you could try to write it yourself.

The .cpp on the end of the files should tell you that this code is C++ and belongs in the C++ forum.

My goodness. That's got to be one of the most convoluted rock-paper-scissors games I've ever seen!

Quzah.

prog-bman, if you call saying "This code is crap" is your way of helping someone, you need some professional treatment. Not everyone on here is an expert, most come to forums to learn by those that can help, Not to be slammed on the first post they have ever left on this forum. No one has an idea of what you posted since you were so quick to edit it out, but if anyone is interested, the email I received says it all. This part of the discussion is closed, your dismissed...lol

anonytmouse, I wrote the code. Trying to learn C, the only program I have is Visual Studio.net and doesn't have the option to compile C, just C++.

I think the problem is getting the prototype and function definition to match, i'm just not getting how to do that. I keep thinking that it's conflicting with:

report (result, &win_cnt, &lose_cnt, &tie_cnt);

in main.

Thanks for your response.

1. Match the prototype to the definition (delete the other prototypes for report):

Code:

void report(outcome result, int *win_cnt_ptr, int *lose_cnt_ptr, int
*tie_cnt_ptr, p_r_s1 player_choice, p_r_s1 machine_choice)

2. Change the call to match the definition:

Code:

         report (result, &win_cnt, &lose_cnt, &tie_cnt, player_choice, machine_choice);

Trying to learn C, the only program I have is Visual Studio.net and doesn't have the option to compile C, just C++.

Files with the .c extension will be compiled as C.

Now that is what I call constructive help, thanks anonytmouse.

I was getting another "new" error, but you put my mind on the right track and now the program works great.

Thanks again.

I have been working the exact same program.
What was your final code that made it work?
TIA
Remo

I know there's an epidemic of people not reading the damn rules before they post.
Read the one about bumping threads, then decide on something better than a "me too" vacuous response to a long dead thread.
