Can someone tell me where my errors are in the validate Input part of the following code?  I keep getting Parse errors. The program ran fine before I inserted the lines about validating input. Thank you so  much.  Maria Joran


#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
	//Declare Variables
	float USD, BP, CASH, CONVERTCURRENCY;	
	
int validateInput(float BP)
{
	// when the condition is true ouput the contents of "" on screen 
	if ((BP < 0.0001) || (BP > 1000000.0))		
     	{
     	    printf("\nUSER INPUT ERROR: Invalid Amount\n");
	     	// return 0 to the calling function 
     		return 0;
     	}
     	// when the condition is false returns 1  
     	else		
     		return 1;
}
			
	
 
	//Initialize the Variables
	USD = 1;				// US Dollar
	BP = USD/0.5350;			// British Pound Exchange Rate
		 		
	//Print Conversion
	printf("Convert Currency\n\n");	        // Prints Header "Convert Currency"
	printf("  USD =   %.2f\n", USD);	// Prints US Dollars
	printf("  BP =   %.2f\n", BP);	        // Prints British Pound Conversion to US Dollars
	
	//User Input
	printf("Convert one currency to another.\n\n");
	printf("Enter the amount of British Pounds you would like to be converted to US dollars.\n\n");
	scanf("%f", &CASH);
	CONVERTCURRENCY=BP*CASH;
	//This number will represent the amount in US Dollars.
	printf("The amount you entered equals $%.2f in US Dollars.\n\n", CONVERTCURRENCY);
	
	return 0;
	printf("Press any key to continue...\n");
