I assume you wanted to say:

   printf ("i = %d\n", i);

I thought that if you omit a type in a function definition, then the  
compiler has to make the type int (a left-over from C). So it should  
not be an error (a warning, at most). Just because I am curious about  
that: what kind of error message do you get?
And independent of your answer, I'll try to make the printf  
conversion more robust. --Beata
