I'm doing questions in back of a book but there are no answers to check work!Need help to make sure I'm correct and x's are my answers!

What answers did you get?

look be side question it has an x beside it on left side like x one(int a, int b);

Well you have some wrong on every question. First can I suggest you use code tags when posting code so that it is easier to read. Question 1 ask about functions. A function is formed like

return_type Function_name(variable_type name(optional))

A function does not need to actually name the variable if it is a prototype but it does need to have the variable type.

Question 2 deals with variable naming, initializing and arrays. Can an array have a negative subscript? What does double d(4); mean?

here is a good link for learning functions.

and here you can learn up on variables

this website did not help for what I understand the one (int a, int b) only is valid!

is void thelastone(); a proper function prototype? If not why?

is void thelastone(); a proper function prototype? If not why?

so void can be a proper function if so then

one(int a, int b);
int thisone(char x);
void thelastone();
void function3(n, x, a, b);
void finction4(int n, float, char c); are the correct answers

What are the types for

void function3(n, x, a, b);

?

Does

one(int a, int b);

have a return type?

What are the types for

void function3(n, x, a, b);

?

Does

one(int a, int b);

have a return type?

for what I understand that the

int a, int b

is the return type

and

n, x, a, b

is also as long as it is stated to be returned

like

int one(int a, int b)
{
if (a > b)
return a;
else
return b;

The return type does not come from the parameter list. To qualify as correct a function prototype you need to have have three things. You need a return type, a correct name for the function and you need to have a parameter list. The parameter list need not have any parameters but you still need the () after the name to make it a function. You also do not need to name any of the parameters in the parameters list but you do need the type specified.

// the are all correct
int foo();
void foo(int);
double add(double first, double second);
void print(void);  // okay (void) means I have no parameters

// these are all incorrect
foo();  // no return type
void foo(a);  // type of a is not specified
int 2add(int, int);  // bad name
