How come this doesnt work?

[correlcj]

#include<stdio.h>

enum day {sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat};

int main()
{
typedef enum day day;
return 0;
}


day find_next_day(day d)
{
day next_day;

switch (d) {
case sun:
next_day = mon;
break;
case mon:
next_day = tue;
break;
case tue:
next_day = wed;
break;
case wed:
next_day = thu;
break;
case thu:
next_day = fri;
break;
case fri:
next_day = sat;
break;
}
return next_day;
}

re: why doesn't this work?

int main()
{
typedef enum day day;
return 0;
}

1) You have a enum of day that you're typedef-ing to something of the same exact name. This is bad form.

2) You don't actually call any functions in main.

3) Your typedef is inside main, but you try and use it in the next function:

day find_next_day(day d)
{
day next_day;

That's why it doesn't work.

It appears that "day find_next_day(day d)" is supposed to be some sort of function that you want to do something with, but you haven't established a prototype anywhere in your code, nor have you told function main what you want to do with your function day.

Perhaps you could:

#include<stdio.h>

//enumerate day out here so both main and day can see it

enum day {sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat};

//function prototype

day find_next_day(day d);

int main()
{

typedef enum day day;

//call your function here to do something with it

return 0;

}
