Thread: Still puzzled [I hope this formatted]

Here is the whole program that I am working on:

At this moment I have 15 errors and I know it is because of area.

I'm not sure if it is how it is declared or how I am calling it.

What a lot of code!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One mistake is the call to function, in the calling function you have declared area a couple of times. Declare it once....

since your original function definition is
[code]
int calculateLengthWidth( int *length, int *width);
/*note the changes below*/

// This is where the Customer record is written and printed
int processCustomerRecord(char CustomerName[NAME_SIZE], char CustomerAddress[ADDRESS_SIZE],
char CityStateZip[CITY_STATE_ZIP_SIZE], char CustomerPhoneNo[PHONENO_SIZE], int *length, int *width)
{
int status, area; /*DECLARE area LIKE SO*/

char ch;
printf("%c", 179);
printf("%25s %51s %c\n", CustomerName, "", 179);
printf("%c %25s %50s %c\n", 179, CustomerAddress, "", 179);
printf("%c %25s %50s %c\n", 179, CityStateZip, "", 179);
printf("%c %15s %60s %c\n", 179, CustomerPhoneNo, "", 179);
printf("%c", 195);
HorizontalLine();
printf("%c\n", 180);
//status = scanf("%25c %25c %25c %15c %i %i", CustomerName, CustomerAddress, CityStateZip,
// CustomerPhoneNo, length, width);
ch = getchar();
//printf("%c\n", 179);
printf("%c", 179);
printf("%37s MEASUREMENT %28s", "", "");
printf("%c\n", 179);
printf("%c %76s %c\n", 179, "", 179);
printf("%c %25s Length %20s %d ft %15s %c\n", 179, "", "", *length, "", 179);
printf("%c %25s Width %21s %d ft %15s %c\n", 179, "", "", *width, "", 179);

/*THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE INCORRECT - YOUR DECLARATION*/
/* ABOVE USES POINTERS SO YOU MUST PASS THE ADDRESS*/
/*OF POINTERS TO THEM WITH "&" OPERATOR */
area = calculateLengthWidth(&(*length), &(*width));

status = scanf("%25c %25c %25c %15c %i %i", CustomerName, CustomerAddress, CityStateZip,
CustomerPhoneNo, length, width);
return status;
}//End of processCustomerRecord

> /*THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE INCORRECT - YOUR DECLARATION*/
> /* ABOVE USES POINTERS SO YOU MUST PASS THE ADDRESS*/
> /*OF POINTERS TO THEM WITH "&" OPERATOR */
> area = calculateLengthWidth(&(*length), &(*width));
Since length and width are already pointers within this function, the &* you have used here simply cancel one another out, so it's just
&nbsp; area = calculateLengthWidth( length, width );


To sketchit
int calculateLengthWidth(int *length, int *width)
(
int area = *length * *width;
printf("%c %25s Area %21s %d ft %15s %c\n", 179, "", "", *area, "", 179);
return area;
}//end calculateLengthWidth ]

1. The first ( should be a {
2. Judging from the rest of the code, this function should not be calling printf - all it needs to do is calculate the area and return that value.
&nbsp; area = calculateLengthWidth( length, width );
&nbsp; printf("%c %25s Area %21s %d ft %15s %c\n", 179, "", "", area, "", 179);
happens inside your calling function.
