Having trouble with the random function

[bkumanchik]

My code:
invader_x = GetRandomValue(int 156, int 356);

my error:
invader.c:151: error: identifier expected

Isn't invader_x the identifier?

try:
invader_x = GetRandomValue(156, 356);

assuming this is C !

The data type is specified by the function prototype so you don't specify it for the parameter, indeed if you tried to use a parameter of another kind it like a char, string or double it wouldn't compile...

Thanks, I'll try that On Wednesday, August 18, 2021, 06:37:31 AM PDT, chriscamacho ***@***.***> wrote: try: invader_x = GetRandomValue(156, 356); assuming this is C !

That did it, thanks, I guess I didn't need to be so specific.
