Q:

What would be the output of the following program?

main()

{

    extern int fun ( float );

    int a;

    a = fun ( 3. 14 );

    printf ("%d", a);

}

int fun ( aa )

float aa ;

{

     return ( (int) aa );

}

Answer

Error occurs because we have mixed the ANSI prototype with K & R style of function definition.


When we use ANSI prototype for a function and pass a float to the function it is promoted to a double. When the function accepts this double into a float a type mismatch occurs hence the error.


The remedy for this error could be to define the function as :


int fun (float aa)


{


  ....


}
