    state your compiler for clearing screen...sub routines are simple...

    first off: they're not suroutines, they're functions. they're really simple to do:

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    void /*no return value*/ myfunc(void/*no input*/)
    {
        printf("Tada!\n");
    }
    
    int main(void)
    {
        myfunc();
        return 0;
    }
    that code calls the function myfunc() to display "Tada!" on the screen.

    passing a value to a function is simple, too:

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    void myfunc(int numtimes)
    {
        int x;
        for(x=0;x<numtimes;x++)
            printf("Tada!\n");
    }
    
    int main(void)
    {
        myfunc(5);
        return 0;
    }
    and that should display Tada! 5 times.where I wrote int numtimes in the function declaration, it tells the compiler that it needs to be passed an integer value to wrok properly.
