New to C Programming and Need Help

[bkeilman]

Hey guys/gals,

I am new to programming and have a class assignment. I am trying to make these functions within functions work right. They compile just fine, but when I run the program it does not work. I do not need someone to completely do my problem for me, but if you could suggest on one of my functions what I am doing wrong I will change the others. I have looked all over google trying to figure this out. Here is my source code please let me know what I need to change.

Thanks!

what compiler are you using? you need to turn up your warning levels.
