Error C2371: redefinition; different basic types - why?

Question

I have the following code:

#include 
#include 

// helping
void sortint(int numbers[], int array_size)
{
  int i, j, temp;

           


        

Answer 1

You call eb from exera, before eb is declared. The compiler assumes it'll return int then finds an implementation that returns void further down the file.

The most common fix is to declare your local functions at near top of your file

void eb(int* ptr);
// repeat for each other function which generates the same error
