Thread: Problems relating to conditional statements and fuctions.

Hi.
I need help. I would like to have a function that returns to it's parent function if conditions are not met, however my code will not compile. I am using Xcode 3. Here is the non functioning code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void first(void);

int main()
{
	first();
	printf("first completed successfully");
}
void first(void){
	int		welcome;	
	scanf( "%d", &welcome );
	fpurge( stdin );
	if(welcome == ""){
		return();
	}
	else{
		first();
	}
				}

Thanks to anyone who can help.
