Thread: Calculating the length of a string

They are not arguments.

if I hit the return statement I want it to return whatever x is.
length = stringlength ();
makes a lot more sense to me than arguments.

Again, this is because you lack basic C understand, and, heck, basic programming understanding.

No! How many times do we have to tell you?
Count is an integer and the function expects a string (const char*)!
