it seems like a lot to read but its actually simple. the program accepts as input 5 values in a series, then determines if it is a series of numbers multiplied by the same number every time or a series of numbers that just adds a certain value every time. I bolded the lines that the errors show up on (posted below). The user defined functions are getTerms, getPattern, patternAdd, and patternMultiply. ive been trying to debug this for hours and just can't figure it out. any help?

hw6.c: In function 'main':
hw6.c:23: error: expected expression before 'int'
hw6.c:23: error: too few arguments to function 'getPattern'
hw6.c:25: error: expected expression before 'int'
hw6.c:25: error: too few arguments to function 'patternMultiply'
hw6.c:29: error: expected expression before 'int'
hw6.c:29: error: too few arguments to function 'patternAdd'
hw6.c: At top level:
hw6.c:54: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '*' token
hw6.c:77: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '*' token
hw6.c:94: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '*' token

you are getting those errors like on line 23 because you put data types as parameters and it expects variable names. For example: if( getPattern(&term1, &term2, &term4, &term5) ) == 1)
