Thread: error C2371 : redefinition; different basic types

Hi
im writing a program for a user calender operation
i keep getting dis error and i cant figure how to fix it

Code:

error C2371: 'day_of_the_week_month_of_year' : redefinition; different basic types

here where the prolem is

Code:

void view_events(struct evnt* head)

{
	struct evnt* nod;
	for(nod=head; nod!=NULL; nod=nod->next)
	{
		day_of_the_week_month_of_year(nod->day,nod->month,nod->year);
		printf("\nStart Time: %d\nEnd Time:%d\nEvent description:%s\n",nod->begin_time,nod->end_time,nod->event_details);
		printf("\n\n");
	}			
}

and this is the function

Code:

void day_of_the_week_month_of_year(int day,int month,int year)
{
	int a,m,y,date=0;
	checking_date(day,month,year);
	a=((14-month)/12);
	y=(year-a);
	m=(month+(12*a)-2);
	date=((date+y+(y/4)-(y/100)+(y/400)+(31*m/12))%7);
	if(date==0)
		printf("\nSunday");
	if(date==1)
		printf("\nonday");
	if(date==2)
		printf("\nTuesday");
	if(date==3)
		printf("\nWednesday");
	if(date==4)
		printf("\nThursday");
	if(date==5)
		printf("\nFriday");
	if(date==6)
		printf("\nSaturday");
		printf(" %d ",day);
	if(month==1)
		printf("January");
	if(month==2)
		printf("Febuary");
	if(month==3)
		printf("March");
	if(month==4)
		printf("April");
	if(month==5)
		printf("May");
	if(month==6)
		printf("June");
	if(month==7)
		printf("July");
	if(month==8)
		printf("August");
	if(month==9)
		printf("September");
	if(month==10)
		printf("October");
	if(month==11)
		printf("November");
	if(month==12)
		printf("December");
		printf(" %d",year);
}

doesnt any one know how to fix dis error
thanks

although i'm not familiar with structures, what i see is while calling

day_of_the_week_month_of_year(nod->day,nod->month,nod->year);

the arguments doesn't match the parameters in the definition of "day_of_the_week_month_of_year"
correct me if i'm wrong.

so really it should work

what i think is that the arguments are not integers they are of the type specified by the structure(as structure is a user defined data type).

It's possible you may have another definition of that function elsewhere, in another source file perhaps.

well the structure i de fined like dis

Code:

struct evnt
{
	int day, month,year,begin_time,end_time;
	char *event_details;
	struct evnt *next;
};
