Thread: Inputting values into a variable

Both Preludes and Laserlights posts are the same. Yours is every so slightly different in that you have the variables BETWEEN the () of main and the { that begins the statements INSIDE the function main - this is where, in the old (original) C style, you'd place the argument types - but you also had to declare those in the () of the function, so:

Code:

int main(day, month, year)
int day, month, year;
{
...

This would, technically, work, except that the function main is never called with three integer values as arguments. In C++ this would definitely be invalid, and it's on the "undefined" stage of C - so it may work on one system, and not work on another system.

It is definitely not the right way to do things.
