    Hypotenuse Problem

    I am working on a problem for class and I am getting a
    [Linker error] undefined reference to `hypotenuse(double, double)' message. Can someone explain why this is happening. Here is my code:

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>
    
    /* Function Prototype */
    double hypotenuse( double sidea, double sideb );
    
    /* Function main begins program execution */ 
    int main() 
    {
        double sidea; /* Variable in which sidea will be stored */
        double sideb; /* Variable in which sideb will be stored */
        
        printf( "Enter the length of side a: \n" ); /* Prompt for input */
            scanf( "%lf", &sidea); /* Read number from user */ 
        printf( "Enter the length of side b: \n\n" ); /* Prompt for input */
            scanf( "%lf", &sideb); /* Read number from user */
        printf( "The length of side c is %lf", hypotenuse( sidea, sideb ) ); /* Display results */
                       
      return 0; /* Indicates that program ended successfully */ 
     
    } /* End function main */
    
    double hypontenuse( double sidea, double sideb )
    {
    
        return sqrt( pow( sidea, 2) + pow( sideb, 2) );
        
    } /* End function main */
    Thanks in advance

    Code:
    } /* End function main */
    
    double hypontenuse( double sidea, double sideb )
    {
    
        return sqrt( pow( sidea, 2) + pow( sideb, 2) );
    hypontenuse?
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

    Thank you - I feel silly for missing that. I guess that is what happens when you stare for to long

    Thanks again
