how to default prototype

[Billy Patton]

Not sure if the description is correct.
I want to do something like:

char* x(int x=3);
int main(void) { printf("something = '%s'\n",x()); }

char* x(int x) { return (x==3)?"3":"1";}


From my limited use of c++ I know this is possible in c++.

Is this possible in c. I'm unable to use c++ and must use c.

please respond via email instead of posting to this news group.

Please consider trimming your signature -- seven lines is a bit much.
You're also lacking the standard separator (a line containing only two
hyphens followed by a space).
