Functions and pointers

hey guys.

i have to write a difficult program to take student grades and compute them. i am defedently going to need more help on this later. the one problem i am having right now that i cant seem to figure out is that my compiler is saying "syntax error before int" it says this on the line in my program that says processOneStudent(int*numStudentPtr........) it is in main. can you just help me figure out why it is saying that??? here is my code. dont make fun its not even close to finish yet.

#include <stdio.h>

void welcome(void);
void processOneStudent(int *numStudentsPtr, int *studentIdPtr, int *yearPtr, int *cumulativeHoursPtr, float *cumulativeGPAPtr);
void reportStudentData(int studentId, int class, int cumulativeHours, float cumulativeGPA);
int applyCriteria(void);
void reportSummary(void);
char more_students;

int main(){

    welcome();
    printf("More Students (Y or N):\t");
    scanf("%c", &more_students);
    
    if(more_students=='Y'||'y'){
    
    processOneStudent(int *numStudentsPtr, int *studentIdPtr, int *yearPtr, int *cumulativeHoursPtr, float *cumulativeGPAPtr);
                                
    else if(more_students=='N'||'n')

    }

system ("pause");
return 0;
}
    
void welcome(void){
     printf("\n%s%s%s%s\n",
     "***********************************************\n\n",
     "*   Welcome to the Academic Standing System   *\n\n",
     "*           Developed by Drem Darios          *\n\n",
     "***********************************************\n");
     
     }
     
void processOneStudent(int *numStudentsPtr, int *studentIdPtr, int *yearPtr, int *cumulativeHoursPtr, float *cumulativeGPAPtr ){
                       
                       int hours;
                       int grade;
                       
                       printf("Enter student id, class, cum. hours, cum. GPA:\t");
                       scanf("%d%d%d%f", &studentIdPtr, &yearPtr, &cumulativeHoursPtr, &cumulativeGPAPtr);
                       
                       
                       printf("Hours and grade (0 0 to end)?\t"); 
                       scanf("%d%d", &hours, &grade);
                       while ( hours<0 && grade<0){
                       
                       printf("Hours and grade (0 0 to end)?\t"); 
                       scanf("%d%d", &hours, &grade);
                       
                       }
                       

                       }

void reportStudentData(int studentId, int year, int cumulativeHours, float cumulativeGPA){
                       
                       printf("Student Id:\t%d\n", studentId);
                       printf("Class:\t%d\n", year);
                       printf("New Cumulative Hours:\t%d\n", cumulativeHours);
                       printf("New Cumulative GPA:\t%.2f\n", cumulativeGPA);                      
                       
                       }


void reportSummary(int numStudents, int numInGoodStanding){
     printf("Number of Students:\t%d\n", numStudents);
     printf("Number in Good Standings\t%d\n",numInGoodStanding);
     printf("\nThank you for using the Academic Standing System. Bye bye!");
     }

 processOneStudent(int *numStudentsPtr, int *studentIdPtr, int *yearPtr, int *cumulativeHoursPtr, float *cumulativeGPAPtr);

When you are calling the function u dont need to specify the datatypes of those arguments. You have already done at that before, which is there on top of the main. When you call the function u will have to just pass the parameters to that function, like as follow

 processOneStudent(numStudentsPtr, studentIdPtr, yearPtr, cumulativeHoursPtr, cumulativeGPAPtr);

And you need a proper code indendation. And there are lots of syntac error which i can find on your code. I can see that you wanted to send the numStudentsPtr, stuentIdPtr, CumulativeHoursPtr and cumulativeGPAPtr as a pass by referece to function processOneStudent. But i dont see any where that you have declared those variables. And perhaps if you are sending them through pass by reference you will have to put a '&' simple in front of those arguments when calling processOneStudent, to specify the compile to send the address of those variable but not the values of those variables.
