Simple c program to read in input and display output won't compile in VS-08

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAXLINE 1000
int getline(char line[], int)

int main()
{
        int c, length;
        char line[MAXLINE];
       
        while((length = getline(line, MAXLINE)) > 0){
                printf("%s",line);
        }

        getch();
        return 0;
}
int getline(char s[],int lim)
{

        int i = 0;
        int c;
        while((c = getchar()) != EOF && c != '\n' && i < lim-1){
                s[i] = c;
                i++;
        }
        if (c == '\n'){
                s[i] = c;
                i++;
        }
        s[i] = '\0';

        return i;
       
}

I don't see what's wrong with this. Thanks for the help.

You're missing a terminating semi-colon for your function prototype. Also, getch is non-standard.

Please post the errors reported by your compiler too.

Also you could replace your self-written getline function with the library's fgets() function... unless part of the exercise is to write your own stuff.

Thanks laser. The missing semi colon was the problem. Btw, I'm only using getch so that the program doesn't automatically terminate once the lines are displayed.
