Re where and wherey

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<windows.h>
void locate (int x, int y) ;



int main(void)
{
int response = 0;
locate(5,5);puts("Your input: ");

    while((_wherex != 20) && (_wherey != 5))
    //Operands of '!=' have incompatible types 'int __cdecl (*)(void)' and 'int'.
    {
        locate(20,5);
        scanf("%d",&response);
    }
return 0;
}

void locate(int x, int y)
    {
        COORD pos = {x, y};
        SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), pos);
    }

_wherex and _wherey are themselves not the problem and are not an essential part of my question. They are non-standard statements, made available by the IDE (Pelles C) and were tested to work okay.

When evaluating variables they should be of the same type.
i.e:

(float)1.0 != (int)1 is invalid.

The error message suggests it should be
while((_wherex() != 20) && (_wherey() != 5))

Yes - works fine! Thank you.
