Thread: cant compile this code and also treid of finding errors

i wrote this code to blink 8 leds! but its not working! can anyone define me why? HELP

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<time.h>




     const int DELAY_TIME = 1;
     const int RUNNING_TIME = 30;
     int main() {


     long long int start = time(NULL);
     long long int MWANZO = time(NULL);
     int timer = DELAY_TIME;


     while((time(NULL)-MWANZO)<RUNNING_TIME){
     int K, L;
     for(K=1; K<=8; K++){
         do {
            if(timer == DELAY_TIME) {
                timer = 0;
                start = timer(NULL);


                for(L=1; L<=8; L++){
                    if(L==K) printf("\t0");
                    else printf("\t.");
                    }
                    printf("\n\n")
            }else{
            timer = time(NULL) - start;
            }
         } while(timer != DELAY_TIME);
     }




     }


}

Code:

$ gcc -Wall -Wextra baz.c
baz.c: In function ‘main’:
baz.c:23:30: error: called object ‘timer’ is not a function
baz.c:31:13: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token
baz.c:43:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

They seem fairly self explanatory to me.

>baz.c:23:30: error: called object ‘timer’ is not a function
time() is a function
timer is a variable
Trying to call timer() is wrong - consider your spelling perhaps.

> baz.c:31:13: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token
A good place to look would be for a missing ; on line 30
