Thread: C functions

Sure. Include the header file which prototypes the functions you've got in another file, in your main file. Then link them all together when you compile. You really should get a new compiler. TC++ is ancient.

All you need to do is put the function in one file and include it in the main file using "include" keyword. An example is below where we have two files mainfile.c and func.h. func.h will have the function and it will be called from mainfile.c. Compile both of these files and run.


mainfile.c
---------------------------------

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include "func.h"

int power(int m, int n);

main(){
    int i;

    for(i=0; i<=10; i++)
        printf("%d %d\n", i, power(2,i));
    return 0;
}

file 2: func.h
----------------------------

Code:

int power(int base, int n){
    int i, p;

    p = 1;
    for(i = 1; i <= n; i++)
        p = p * base;
    return p;
}

You don't put the function in the .h file. You prototype it in the .h file, and put it in its own .c file.
