Thread: int from pointer without a cast warning.

Hi, i'm getting several warnings and erros upon adding a function to my program and I am not entirely sure as to what they are, any ideas?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <math.h>


int wordcount( char words[])

{

 int  j=0 , wcnt = 0, lenght;



j=strlen(words)-1;

while( strchr(" \t", words[j]) != 0 ) { words[j]=0 ; j-- ; }



j=0 ;


while( strchr(" \t", words[j]) != 0 ) j++;

words=words+j;



lenght = strlen(words) ;

 for(j=0; j<=lenght; j++ ) 

     if( strchr(" \t", words[j]) != 0 ) {
     while( words[j+1]==' ' || words[j+1]=='\t' ) j++ ; wcnt++ ; }

/* At the EOF strchr() returns as if it matched ! */



 return(wcnt);

}











int sylcount( char * words )

{

 int i , j , sylc=0, length=strlen(words);

 char * vowels="AEIOUYaeiouy";



 for(j=0 ; j<=length ; j++){

     i=j;

     while( j<= length && strchr(vowels, words[j]) != 0 ) j++ ;

           if( 1<j-i ){ sylc++ ; i=j; }

}

 return(sylc);

}





int sentencecount( char * sentence)

{

 int  j , sencnt = 0, lenght = strlen(sentence);

 char *sentenders = ".;:?!" ;



 for(j=0; j<=lenght; j++ ) 

     if( strchr(sentenders, sentence[j]) != 0 ) sencnt++;



/* At the EOF strchr() returns as if it matched ! */



 return(sencnt);

}



int indexcalc(int wcnt, int sylc, int sencnt)
{
 int IDX;

IDX = 206.835 - 84.6 * (sylc/wcnt) - 1.015 * (wcnt/sncnt);

return(IDX);
}



 

int main()

{



char buf[1048576] , * i , * j ;



i=buf;



while( fgets(i, 1048576, stdin) != 0 )

  {

    if ( ( j=strchr(i,'\n') ) != 0 ) *j=' ';

    i=i+strlen(i);

  }



printf("\n\n%s\n\n", buf);





printf("Index is: %d\n", indexcalc(buf));

printf("Number of words: %d\n", wordcount(buf));

printf("Number of sylables: %d\n", sylcount(buf));

printf("Number of sentences: %d\n", sentencecount(buf));





}

a2.c: In function ‘main’:
a2.c:86: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘indexcalc’ makes integer from pointer without a cast
a2.c:58: note: expected ‘int’ but argument is of type ‘char *’
a2.c:86: error: too few arguments to function ‘indexcalc’

Any help would be appreciated, i've been playing with this for 3 days now.

The warning doesn't make much sense - but it's probably because of a side effect of your error: you've defined indexCalc to accept three integers, but you pass it a (char *). As a side note, I see you doing lots of division and work with decimals with ints - remember that an int will drop the fractional part of any number (though maybe that's what you want - just thought I'd bring it your attention).

Actually the warning does make sense, and it is as you say related to the error.
Argument 1 of indexCalc is expecting an int but he is passing a char*, and like the warning says the pointer is being converted in to an integer.
