Re: First program in C - what is going on with function returns?

Thanks for the detailed response!

speakdate(int d, int m, int y)

What type is being returned? If you meant "nothing", specify void.

As per last reply, I want to return a string, but am not sure of the
syntax for returning arrays...

if (fmod(year,4)==0) {

At a guess, you simply want the modulus operand - % - here.

so... "if((year%4)==0)" ?

int main(void)

on a related note, is there a difference between "int main (void)" and
"int main ()" ?

speakdate(), as written, returns nothing, so treating it as if it does is
an error. That you get any output at all is simply a matter of accident.

should be able to fix this if i can return an array.

there's no way this could be the full code, as it cannot compile.

Hmmm, this was the full code I was using, compiling ok with bloodshed
dev-c++ on windows (a gcc based compiler). Can't see anything obvious
to raise the logging level, or to expert stricter code...
