Trouble compiling main.c, conflicting types and previous declaration was here errors
 

Hello,
I'm trying to compile a main.c file that contains a while statement. Embedded in the while statement are functions that are being called. After the while statement, I have 2 more functions being called, one to find the average(getaverage), and one to print the results (printstuff).
I also used a header file (my.h) that contains all of the needed #define and #include, along with each of the void function() statements.

There isn't any problems with the while statement/ the functions in while, but when I try and compile main.c I get the following errors:
main.c error: conflicting types for 'getaverage'
my.h error: previous declaration of 'getaverage'
and then the same thing for 'printstuff'

I can't figure out why its not working and would appreciate help!
Thanks

Could you post the prototypes and definitions (at least the first line that specifies the return type and parameters, the body isn't necessary) for the functions?

Remember to use [code] code goes here [/code] tags.

Also, I don't think you really need a header file for main.c, since nothing is going to include it anyway. I would put the prototypes in main.c.

Sure, I have:
in main.c:
in getaverage.c:
(this is also in the header file)
in printstuff.c:
(also in header file)

thanks

First, "&average" and "*average" are different.

Second, I don't understand what "(this is also in the header file) means. Could you either explain the organization of your code in more detail or just put all the code in a compressed archive and attach it to your post (if that's OK with you)?
