int p in mul function definition is not inside the function make it declare in the function and give return 0 in main function

In the above program, during the declaration of function you have written

int mul(int a,int b);

and when you have defined te function then you have written

int mul(int x,int y)

which is absolutely wrong. So your function should be defined like this :-

int mul(int a, int b)

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int a, b, c;
    a = 5;
    b = 10;
    c = mul (a,b);
    printf ("multipilcation of %d and %d is %d",a,b,c);
}
int mul (int x, int y)

{
    int p;
    p = x*y;
    return(p);
}

You opened a brace after the first statement "int p;", where it should be after the function begins(before the statement). The entire function should be wrapped inside the braces.

int mul (int x, int y)
{

    int p;
    p = x*y;
    return(p);
}

Curly brace for function needs to be before int p; like ...int y){

Recommend defining function before main since easier to understand. This works:

#include <stdio.h>

int mul(int a, int b){
    int p = a*b;
    return p;
}

void main()
{
    int a, b, c;
    a = 5;
    b = 10;
    c = mul(a,b);
    printf ("multipilcation of %d and %d is %d",a,b,c);
}

use int p;

inside the function, basically inside the flower brackets or globally after the function declaration

int mul(int, int)

{

int p;

}
