Well, fix the errors and warnings gcc is reporting. You're making
several fundamental mistakes. You've not yet understood how to pass
arrays to functions, how to match prototype with function definition,
declaring objects before trying to use them and scope of various types
of objects.

I suspect that you're skipping ahead in K&R without fully
understanding the previous material. This group cannot repeatedly
correct the same errors you make. You'll have to demonstrate that
you're able to learn and desist from previous mistakes.

To start with correct, or try to correct, all the errors, (not
warnings), that gcc is complaining about. Start from the errors
mentioned first and after each correction, recompile and note the new
diagnostic messages. Do this till all the errors are removed. Then we
can progress to constructs that generate a warning.

Always use the -pedantic option with -std=XX, otherwise gcc may accept
implementation specific extensions.
