Function calling

[NUj6URfi]

I have a function called

void SDL_Movie (int argc, char** args[]) {

To call it I said

SDL_Movie(int argc, char** args);

I get the errors

expected primary-expression before "int"
expected primary-expression before "char"
`SDL_Movie' undeclared (first use this function)

The third one I especially don't get because I defined my function by typing

void SDL_movie (int argc, char** args[]);

What can I do to fix these errors?

SDL_Movie(argc, args);

Provided you declared a variable named argc of type int and variable of type char pointer to pointer called args

[NUj6URfi]

What do I do with that code? Will it take away my errors?

[Smac89]

Yes provided you have declared the variables argc and args

[vlad from moscow]

When you call a function you must to supply arguments that is some expressions. Instead of this you suplied declarations of parameters

SDL_Movie(int argc, char** args);

For example int argc is not an expression. It is a declaration of identifier argc as having type int.

P.S. I wonder why are you getting into SDL if you know nothing in C++?!

I do know some stuff, I just have never messed with the () after main or void or whatever. What's my solution vlad?

[NUj6URfi]

Bump.

[NUj6URfi]

Just how can I call this function?

[Smac89]

I already gave you the way to call the function. If you still do not recognize that as a way of calling functions, you might want to take a look as some tutorials
