Everyone who reads this will laugh, such a daft question.

Okay i have a piece of code i'm having trouble with and need to google to try and find the error however i have completely forgot what its called, making Googling it quiet difficult.

Yes its annoying simple just i got a head blank moment.

in my code ive got

Code:

---


Simulation();

---

then at the bottom outside main loop

Code:

---

simulaition()
{
Blah blah
}

---

what are these called lol im sure im going mad

You seem to be calling Simulation from your main loop but the function definition says it's called simulaition. C is case sensitive, and the spelling is wrong in the definition.

Yeah that was solely a typo and not replicated in my code, basically im having trouble with "Syntax Error: }" galore around these what ever they are called, it has been a good couple of years since i've programmed and i have completely forgot what these are called so i can try and google to find the error.

Oh you mean the name of '}'? :) Curly bracket, or curly brace, I think.

sorry i'm not being clear lol

what is it called when i put

Simulation() <-- in my code designed to call a piece of code or "jump to a piece of code" outside of my main loop.

That is so much clearer than waht i put orginally lol

It's called "calling a function".

Okay i do apologise i was sure there was a more technical term or name for it lol

Am i doing this correct

Code:

---


#define Simulation ();

main()
{
Simulation();
}

void Simulation(void)
{
/*Certain Formula*/
}

---

No. Drop the #define at the top, instead write

Code:

---

/* This is the function definition, you need this if the function is defined after it is used */
void Simulation(void);

int main(void) /* note the return type of main */
{
    Simulation();
    return 0;
}

void Simulation(void)
{
    /* Code */
}

---

Thanks

That Worked Brilliantly

Had such a mind blank it was untrue
