An error again in my own function

[cogeek]

I have this source code:

#include <stdio.h>

void cool()

int main()
{
printf("NJHGJG GFS COL\n");
cool()
printf("asfasf as f as a!\n");
cool()
printf("adasfasf fg 45\n");
printf("ashdjas ashfas\n");
}
void cool()
{
printf(" Poor kitty\n");
}

and when i try compile i get this:

"dokimi9.c", line 6: warning: a function is declared as an argument
"dokimi9.c", line 6: syntax error at or near symbol {

any suggesions, do you see any wrong at the codE?

When calling a function, as with any statement, end in a ; as seen here:

#include <stdio.h>

void foo( void );

int main( void )
{
    foo( );

    return 0;
}

void foo( void )
{
    printf("Like so...\n");
}

void cool()

Should be :

void cool();

Your actual calls to cool() need a semi colon aswell like :

cool();

Here man, try this one out first. I'd also recommend a good book on C as well. Search the board or google for it.

A tutorial which uses gets() in an example, without plenty of warnings - tut tut

The array stuff could be better as well.

[edit]
Also, the author doesn't know why the malloc examples needed a cast (it doesn't in C).
The answer, should anyone be interested is because they were compiling their 'C' code with a 'C++' compiler.

I actually haven't checked it out. I'm doing mine by a book, not bad. ummmm....I think this one might be better for him. the only problem is it might be a little advance.

The thing to remember cogeek is - if you don't have a good book on C - try the tutorials and come on the board often and show your code and let others critique it. you'll learn a whole lot. Actually even if you do have a "good" book, come on the board regulary. You'd be amazed at some of the crap out there passing for good C programming. I've learned a lot on this board and I'm sure you will too.
Worse case scenarion pm Salem with your programming problems. He loves that.

[edit]while we are on this subject Salem, Why doesn't the board have a decent tutorial on C? so many ppl could use it. Why don't you and prelude get togather and do one. I'd even pay to get it [/edit]

Yes, that link is much better.

You can also use this one, which is by the same author of the comp.lang.c FAQ (which is required reading IMO once you're up and running)

> Worse case scenarion pm Salem with your programming problems. He loves that.
Bad idea - you'll find yourself being ignored if you do.

It could certainly do with links to known good tutorial sites.

Maybe the webmaster or moderator should get some togather. I have a couple of them. And It'd be great if one could be done by the memebers of the board. I guess i need to get in touch with Hammer?

[edit]I just notice too the c++ tutorials could do with a bit of updating. <iostream.h> ?? [/edit]

If you know of any you want adding, let me know (via PM).
