Parameter transfer to functions via pointer in C

Hi, i got a code from a book of my university and it does not work. Error message: warning: 'swap' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] void swap(int *a, int *b) ^~~~ ..\Playground\~1\AppData\Local\Temp\cc2dRKGB.o:source.c:(.text+0x46): undefined reference to `swap' collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status Even if i try other online C Compilers the message is the same. (I simply want to change two Variables) Code: #include <stdio.h> void swap(int *a, int *b); int main() { int zahl1, zahl2; zahl1 = 10; zahl2 = 20; printf("Startvalue: Zahl1: %i, Zahl2: %i", zahl1, zahl2); swap(&zahl1, &zahl2); printf("Finalvalue: Zahl1: %i, Zahl2: %i", zahl1, zahl2); return 0; void swap(int *a, int *b) { int vhilf; vhilf = *a; *a = *b; *b = vhilf; } }

Your swap() function needs to be defined outside of main() and at least its prototype needs to be provided before the main() function.

as Sonic have said, just erase the last semicolon and put one after the return 0
