What are the generated error messages when compilation is attempted?

Not the function prototypes listed above main:

   int getop(char []);
   void push(double);
   double pop(void);

The posting code is incomplete and is missing the implementation of the push(), pop() and getop() routines.

code for push and pop function

#define MAXVAL  100  /* maximum depth of val stack */

   int sp = 0;          /* next free stack position */
   double val[MAXVAL];  /* value stack */

   /* push:  push f onto value stack */
   void push(double f)
   {
       if (sp < MAXVAL)
           val[sp++] = f;
       else
           printf("error: stack full, can't push %g\n", f);
   }

   /* pop:  pop and return top value from stack */
   double pop(void)
   {
       if (sp > 0)
           return val[--sp];
       else {
           printf("error: stack empty\n");
           return 0.0;
       }
   }

code for getop function

#include <ctype.h>

   int getch(void);
   void ungetch(int);

   /* getop:  get next character or numeric operand */
   int getop(char s[])
   {
       int i, c;

       while ((s[0] = c = getch()) == ' ' || c == '\t')
           ;
       s[1] = '\0';
       if (!isdigit(c) && c != '.')
           return c;      /* not a number */
       i = 0;
       if (isdigit(c))    /* collect integer part */
           while (isdigit(s[++i] = c = getch()))
              ;
       if (c == '.')      /* collect fraction part */
           while (isdigit(s[++i] = c = getch()))
              ;
       s[i] = '\0';
       if (c != EOF)
           ungetch(c);
       return NUMBER;
   }

they given the code as 3 seperate modules,i dont know to integrate it.

A typically example of compiling multiple source code files utilizing GCC:

gcc -Wall main.c second.c third.c -o progname

Simply replace main.c, second.c and third.c with the appropriate names of the source code files and choose a name for the resulting program in place of progname.
