When compiling my program i got this error:

What is it and how can i solve it?

You're coming to C from a Java background, aren't you?

This is illegal in most C dialects; it is a legal C++ declaration, and
so may be accepted if you are compiling C with a C++ compiler:


Unless you severely hobble your C, that is not generally possible.

Severely hobble is going a bit far, just avoid the subset of C that
doesn't intersect with C++.
