compile error, someone please pioint out my mistake

[aaronrus]

hey guys, im in my first c programming class, and this si my first program using functions. heres the code i wrote, and the compiler error i get is:

:In function 'main':
:87: parse error before 'int'

heres the code.. please, reply to me by email as son as you can find the error, or my AIM. [edited by sunburnt]

/* this program keeps track of batting statistics for baseball,
it reads the nameof the batter,the overall numberof hits, at-bats,
and homeruns. it willreadthe numbers for all of these in a loop, then
it will stop at -1 hits. the output will be the batter's name,
the totals for all 3, and the computed batting average shown to 3
decimal places.

my bad guys.. heres the updated code.. made a few mistakes in the first post:


#include <stdio.h>

/* this function reads in all the data to be inputed, including
Hits, at-bats, and homeruns */
void inputs( int *hits, int *atbats, int *homeruns ) {

homeruns */
printf( "Enter overall hits, at-bats, and homeruns:\n" );
scanf( "%d%1d%1d", hits, atbats, homeruns );

/* do/while loop to enter in the additional batting
statistics, and end when -1 is entered for hits */
do {

/* while loop to check for input errors, make sure no.
of hits and at-bats always exceeds no. of homeruns */
while ( c <= a && a <= b && c <= b ) {

/* counter action adds additonal hits, at-bats, and
homeruns to overall stats for each variable */
hits += a;

atbats +=b;

homeruns +=c;

/* input the no. of hits, at-bats, and
homeruns */
printf( "Enter hits, at-bats, and homeruns:\n" );
scanf( "%d%1d%1d", &a, &b, &c );

} /* end while */

} while ( a != -1 ); /* end do/while */

} /* end inputs function */


/* function average calculates batting average */
float average( int hits, int atbats ) {

/* declare bataverage as floating point */
float bataverage;

/* calculate the batting average */
bataverage = (float) hits / (float) atbats;

/* return to indicate what average calculates */
return bataverage;

} /* end function average */


/* main function incorporates the two previous functions to output

int main () {

/* variable to store the name */
char name[49];

/* input the name of the batter */
printf( "Enter name:\n" );
scanf( "%s, &name" );

/* intitialize ints and float for displaying hits, at-bats,

int numbHits = 0;

int numbAtbats = 0;

int numbHomeruns = 0;

float battingAverage;

/* generate input data using function inputs */
inputs( &numbHits, &numbAtbats, &numbHomeruns );

scanf( "%s", &name );   //<<------ FIX

Your going to have a couple of other issues after that. Like an infinite loop.

well, that was a typo, that wasnt an actual problem, and yeah yrou right about the infinite loop.. can you correct my logic? [Edited by MartinLiss]

Here is what you can do to exit the loop

char cMore;
printf("Enter More: ");
scanf(" %c", &cMore );
....
while ( cMore != 'n' && cMore != 'N');

You are also going to want to change where you are putting values into your pointers to be like this:

*(hits) = a;
or
*(hits) += a;

ill try that..
