Question

I am making a project.
This is a function declaration in a separate file.

void PrintLines(int characterValue, int characterCount, int lineCount)

When I prototype in my main file I use:

void PrintLines(char characterValue, int characterCount, int lineCount);

This will not compile. Are there any methods I can use to make it type char in the main method without changing the first int type(in the other file?

I think I have to type cast. Just have to figure out how.

Basically, the code has to be

 void PrintLines(int characterValue, int characterCount, int lineCount)

for file 1 and

 void PrintLines(char characterValue, int characterCount, int lineCount);

for main. I might need to convert ASCII to char…

You can overload functions like this but the two function have a different signature, i.e., during linking it will fail. I’m not sure what you try to achieve but it might work to delegate:

void PrintLines(char cv, int cc, int lc) {
    PrintLines(int(cv), cc, lc);
}
