Question

Hello I’m getting an error when i try to pass a char through to a function.
here is my code.

variable

char *temp;

Prototype

int checkIfUniqueCourseNo(char,int);

Call

checkIfUniqueCourseNo(temp,k);

and my error

warning: improper pointer/integer combination: arg #1

Im new to C so go easy on me 🙂

Answer 1

Your function accepts a char; you are trying to pass in a char*.

To fix this you need to dereference your pointer to obtain the character that it points to, so that your function receives the type of argument it expects:

checkIfUniqueCourseNo(*temp,k);
