function calling

I just want to be able to successfully call the validate Month function inside the getMonth function.. it works when i call getUserInput() but i get type cast errors if i try it with this function. Any idea as to how i can write it up? thnxs

Code:

unsigned getMonth()

{

   

   /*** declare variables*/

  

  unsigned  i;

  int  valid = 0;

  char *prompt = "Please enter a month between 0 - 12\n";

  char *month;

  

  

  

  do

  {

  

  month = getUserInput(prompt);

  /* in here i want to call the validateMonth() fucntion*/



  }

  while(!valid);

  /*printf("hello %s",month);*/

  /*printf("Please enter a month between 0 - 12\n");*/

  

 

   

   return EXIT_SUCCESS;



}

Code:

unsigned validateMonth(unsigned month)

{

     unsigned m;

     while(month<0 || month>12)

     {

        

        printf("Month error 0 or less or equal to 12 please\n");

        

     }



     return m;

}

Re: function calling

Because the prompt is a character pointer and the function argument for validateMonth is unsigned. i.e. integer.

Re: function calling

Isnt the error evident enough.

Re: function calling

the code i have posted is error free. But what im trying to say is that when i try to write the function call for it i get a type cast error for some reason.

so with the above code how can i call the validateMonth() function inside the getUserInput() function

Good that its done. Probably you are calling with the different variable type.
