    Calling functions

    I am attempting to write a program that calls a function, finding all prime numbers from 1-1000. My code is as follows, but I can not get it to run. Any suggestions?

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    int prime(x);
    main()
    {
       int i,d;
       for(i=1;i<1000;i++)
       d=prime(int x);
       printf("%d",d);
    }
    
    int prime(int x)
    { int temp=x;
      if(temp%i==0)
      {return 0;
       else if(temp%i!=0);
       {return 1;
       }
      }
    }

    First suggestion: Tell us what "can not get it to run" means. How about giving us the compiler errors or something else to go on?

    Here are the list of errors my compiler is complaining about:

    Code:
    :2: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration
    :4: warning: return type defaults to `int'
    : In function `main':
    :7: error: syntax error before "int"
    : In function `prime':
    :13: error: `i' undeclared (first use in this function)
    :13: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
    :13: error: for each function it appears in.)
    :15: error: syntax error before "else"
    Fix these.

    And btw, next time the C programming section would be better to place this type of post.
