C function oddity

[gerard4143]

Try creating a C function like

int x = 789;

void myfunc()
{
      return x;  
}

Now try calling this function in your code:

first try:

myfunc();

then try:

myfunc(3456);

and then:

myfunc(3456, "this is some text");

You will find the function will work correctly, that is it will ignore the values pasted to the function...

To correct this define the function as:

int x = 789;

void myfunc(void)
{
      return x;  
}

Just one of the odd things I discovered in C...Gerard4143

You mean the second code snippet will return a double passed to it, despite "x" being defined as a global outside of the function ?
