Withdrawn due to errors on my part.

For some reason this won't compile. This isn't the first time that something hasn't worked from this book so I suspect it's a tiny typo that is messing up the whole thing. Can someone explain to me why this doesn't compile? I'm just starting to deal with strings so I don't know how to call a function from within a string.

 

#include <stdio.h>

main ()

{ int str_number;

for (str_number = 0; str_number < 13; str_number++)
   {
   printf ("%s", menutext(str_number));
   }
}

/*********************************************************/

char *menutext(n)
int n;

{
  static char *t[] =
   {
   "  -------------------------------------- \n",
   " |            ++ MENU ++                |\n",
   " |           ~~~~~~~~~~~~               |\n",
   " |     (1) Edit Defaults                |\n",
   " |     (2) Print Charge Sheet           |\n",
   " |     (3) Print Log Sheet              |\n",
   " |     (4) Bill Calculator              |\n",
   " |     (q) Quit                         |\n",
   " |                                      |\n",
   " |                                      |\n",
   " |     Please Enter Choice              |\n",
   " |                                      |\n",
   "  -------------------------------------- \n"
   };
return (t[n]);
}

I get an error on line 15: char *menutext(n)

 

C:\Documents and Settings\Gary II\Desktop\cprog.c|15|error: conflicting types for 'menutext'|

char *menutext(n)   um... where's your ;

I'm sure other people have their points too, but that was the first thing that cought my eye, and the compiler did say... that line was causing you the problem.
