term does not evaluate to a function?

the compilar doesn't like this:

a = 3.14(r * r);
c = 3.14(r * 2);

It gives the error, "term does not evaluate to a function";

When I change it to (r*r)3.14 or 3.14 * (r*r) but then it comes up with other weird errors.

EDIT:: BY THE WAY...a and c are both floats.

ahhhh..nm i misnamed a function. damnit Im stupid tonight.

Basically, in order to multiply two terms, you simply must use an asterix. I assume that you've been burning the midnight oil.



Both statements follow the syntax of a function call --
fn_name(argument list)
-- so the error of "term does not evaluate to a function" makes sense. Besides, "3.14" is not a valid name for a function, which I think is the reason for that particular error.



Same basic error, but this syntax doesn't mean anything in C that I know of.



This one is valid, yet you still got an error message. Could you tell me what error this one gives you?



Could that weird error message be a warning that you are assigned a double r-value to a float l-value and could lose precision?

nah..as said above I misnamed a function..it was defined as numeric() and then when I wrote the function it was called numric()..But thanks alot for your reply. Regards.
