    i'm writing a simple program for my programming class and i can't get rid of this "conflicting types" error.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    main( )
    {
      printf ("1 \n"); // 1
      printf ("2 \n"); // 2
      printf ("3 \n"); // 3
      printf ("4 \n"); // 4
      printf ("5 \n"); // 5
      f1 ( );
      printf ("6 \n"); // 6
      printf ("7 \n"); // 7
      printf ("8 \n"); // 8
    }
    void f1 (void)
    {
         printf ("f1-9 \n"); // 9
         printf ("f1-10 \n"); // 10
         f2 ( );
         printf ("f1-11 \n"); // 11
         printf ("f1-12 \n"); // 12
    }
         void f2 (void)
    {
         printf ("f2-13 \n"); // 13
         printf ("f2-14 \n"); // 14
         printf ("f3-15 \n"); // 15
    
      system("PAUSE");	
    
    }
    the errors say: conflicting types for 'f1', conflicting types for 'f2'
    what should i do?
    :confused:

    You haven't declared f1 () and f2 () BEFORE you use them. C will therefore presume that they accept an int and return an int. When you call them, you call them as accepting a void and returning a void. Either put the definitions ABOVE main, or put a declaration (prototype) above main.
