WHERE IS THE "PARSE ERROR" IN THESE 6 LINES

[siqe]

void find_hi_lo(double averages[], double *lowest_average, double *highest_average)
{
*highest_average = 0;
*lowest_average = 200;
int x;

[siqe]

gcc says its before int x;

[siqe]

what the hell is this, i put the int x; before all the pointer crap and it works? why is that.

Whats the exact error gcc gives?

It looks like you left out the closing brace to close out the function, for starters.

I might be wrong, but try initializing x first then change the other variables.
C variables have to be declared before any other code.

void find_hi_lo(double averages[], double *lowest_average, double *highest_average)
{
int x;
*highest_average = 0;
*lowest_average = 200;

Plus, why are you derefencing the pointers before changing them? You only should do that if you have 2 levels of indirection

eg. (forgive me, I don't have a compiler, but something like this should work)
double **a; /* a is a pointer to a pointer */
double c = 0.5
double *b = c; /* b points to c */

a = &b;
*a = 3.0

now the value in c should be 3.0 not 0.5

[dunno]

In C you need to declare ALL variables at the beginning of a function, group of statements, etc.
