Thread: Count the number of element in 2D char array

My program is to process the elements in a 2D array, it should return the totla number '9' count in the car board,
but I stop in the line ''countemptyPosition(char board[8][8]);'', it response with expression syntax, can someone help me to point my mistake? thk a lot.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int countemptyPosition(char board[8][8]){

int count, x,y;

 for (x=0;x<8; x++)          /* x from 0 to 7 */
   for (y=0;y<8; y++) {      /* y from 0 to 7 */
    if (board[x][y]=='9')     /* if=9 then increment count by 1*/
      count++;}

 return count;

}


int main(void){

  int count;
  char board[8][8]={0,7,5,6,8,3,5,3,0,6,5,6,4,8,5,9,0,2,1,6,4,1,1,1,0,1,5,6,9,3,4,3,0,2,5,6,4,3,1,3,0,4,6,6,9,3,5,0,0,4,5,6,4,3,5,1,0,4,5,6,4,3,5,3};
  countemptyPosition(char board[8][8]);

  printf("count=%d\n",count);
  getchar();

}
