That is not even close to being real C.  I count 8 errors that a compiler
would catch, only one of which matches the error you asked about.  If this
is the actual code you've been trying to compile and not just a copy by
hand, you need to go back and relearn some C basics.  If this is a copy by
hand, please show use the actual code.

That's not the same error you were asking about.
