Here is your function S_NEWT with the code removed and the relevant parameter highlighted

void S_NEWT(int *n,double *x0,double e,int NMAX,[b]double (*FUNC)()[/b])
{
   <snip>
}

The () at the end of the highlighted parameter represents the parameter list for the function pointer FUNC.

Here is the prototype of your function USERF

void USERF(double *,double *,double);

The parameter list is everything between ( and ). () and (double *,double *,double) are not equivalent, you need to alter the () in your function S_NEWT to match what is in USERF.

This needs to be done both where S_NEWT is declared and defined.

i dont know.. i just copy from the text book,
i dont learn programing from basic,
please help me banfa,!!!

You sound desperate. Please note that even if Banfa gives you the solution to it, you still won't get it AT ALL, because you won't be knowing what he is talking about.
The problem your facing is due to invalid parameter of function.

double (*FUNC)()

This parameter will equal to a function like:

double doSomething();

but what you are passing is:

void USERF(double *,double *,double);

They don't match AT ALL!
So, change your parameter to accept USERF.

void (*FUNC)(double *,double *,double)

Please learn what you are doing, rather blatantly copying from textbooks.

there were errors on

in function 'main'
and incompatible pointer type on line 19

Banfa 597 Posting Pro Featured Poster · Answer 2 · 2010-06-21T15:05:36+00:00

Was that all the errors? Having the complete text of the error messages would help (unless that's also in Japanese).

I couple of points

main returns int, returning default int without a warning tends to suggest you are using an old compiler.

Using capital letters for you function names is a little unusual, I assumed they were macros at first, however it is not actually wrong.

You do not seem to have declared S_NEWT before trying to call it. That may be having an effect as the compiler will not know what the function prototype is.

here the snapshot of the error
pls someone help me, how to fix this

Banfa 597 Posting Pro Featured Poster · Answer 4 · 2010-06-21T21:58:40+00:00

Firstly its a warning not an error, the program still compiled and possibly worked. However that said plenty of programmers use the rule of thumb that all warning should be dealt with and the program should compile without warnings.

You have declared S_NEWT as taking a pointer function with no parameters but supplied it with a pointer to a function that takes 3 parameters. Try fixing the prototype of S_NEWT to take account of the 3 parameters in USERF.

so do i need to replace void USERF(double *,double *,double); with
void (*FUNC)(double *,double *,double) ?

i did that but more error

In future always post it rather PM me. This way everyone can get to know of your problem & contribute accordingly.

i did that but more error

Where exactly did you make that change? You have to change the parameter of S_NEWT() not the signature of USERF()

EDIT: Don't be lazy & define main as int main & always return a value.
EDIT: Pass a Reference to the function &USERF.

nbaztec 45 Posting Pro in Training · Answer 14 · 2010-06-22T22:24:34+00:00

main()
{
	void USERF(double *,double *,double);
.
.
}

You can't declare functions-in-functions in C, perhaps in JavaScript or Pascal but not in C/C++. Take that declaration outside main().

Huh? You didn't want to do this?
OK to end this:

.
void USERF(double *,double *,double);
void S_NEWT(int *n,double *x0,double e,int NMAX,void (*FUNC)(double *,double *,double));
.
int main()
{
  S_NEWT(&n,&x0,e,NMAX,&USERF);
  return 1;
}
void S_NEWT(int *n,double *x0,double e,int NMAX,void (*FUNC)(double *,double *,double))
{
.

}
void USERF(double *,double *,double)
{

why just can u copy the codes and paste it here, actually i dont have to do the prog but i need the prog to calculate something, and the teacher just want us to copy the prog but the prog from the book is not working, very stupid whoever wrote the code, and the book

Apparently yes. Books should be properly scrutinized before they are published.

what????

What's no to get in that. From now on at least be serious in your classes.

Please show me the code. From what I get you change the signature of S_NEWT() upon declaration but not upon defining it.
