You could just convert this code into a function which you can then add to a different project.

can u help me little deeper how to convert it .?

What's the problem? Just change the file name to something else, and change "main" to the name of your new function, with the appropriate parameters and return type.

which procedure i have to run and do i need to create header file for the function?

You don't run anything. Just create a new source file, define your function, by name, parameters and return type. You then use that from another file, either by defining it in the source, or by providing a header file with the definition. Something like ...

// function.c

include // your include statements here

double myfunction(int count, double* numbers)
{
double result = 0.0;

// your code here

return result;

}

// main.c
int main()
{
double myset[] = { 1.0, 2.3, 4.4 };

extern double myfunction(int count, double\* numbers);
double answer = myfunction(3, myset);

}

thanks as before Richard but in which way i have to run in terminal i m using ubuntu..

Use the editor (vi, emacs etc) to create your files and run your compiler or make processor to build them. If you really don't understand these basics of your system, then I suggest you get hold of, and study, a book or the Linux man pages.

Man, you are patient. :thumbsup:

Only very occasionally. I'm doing penance for my dumb question in the Database forum yesterday.

In C++, you can only have one main. The standard explicitly says in 3.6.1: A program shall contain a global function called main, hich is the designated start of the program. [...] This function shall not be overloaded. You can have two functions called main. The name is not special in any way and it's not reserved. What's special is the function, and it happens to have that name. The function is global. So if you write a main function in some other namespace, you will have a second main function.

namespace secondMain
{
int main() { return 0; }
}

int main()
{
secondMain::main();

}

The first main function is not special - notice how you have to return explicitly.

However, the OP code is C, you know, another programming language. ;)
