Parameter return question

[Ninjabelly]

Here is the question:


Write the definition of a function printAttitude , which has an int parameter and returns nothing. The function prints a message to standard output depending on the value of its parameter.
If the parameter equals 1, the function prints disagree
If the parameter equals 2, the function prints no opinion
If the parameter equals 3, the function prints agree
In the case of other values, the function does nothing.


Each message is printed on a line by itself.

my code:

void printAttitude(int)
{
if int==1 
printf("disagree\n");
if int==2
printf("no opinion\n");
if int==3
printf("agree\n");
}

im getting a compile error, but i dont know which because this is an online lab kinda thing.
anyone know what i'm doing wrong or have tips? i tried a few other things but to no avail.

"int" is just the data type. You need to declare a variable after it in the argument list, and use that variable in your "if()" statements (not the data type "int").
Also, the argument to an "if()" statement should be enclosed in parenthesis.

okay i tried:

void printAttitude(int a)
{
if (a==1)
printf("disagree\n");
if (a==2)
printf("no opinion\n");
if (a==3)
printf("agree\n");
}

but still no dice, this is what the lab is telling me:


CTest1.c: In function 'printAttitude':
CTest1.c:4: error: stray '\177' in program
CTest1.c:6: error: stray '\177' in program

It looks like somehow you managed to get a stray character or two in your source code. Try deleting the lines and retyping them, then save and recompile.
