prototypes
The function prototype
The LPC function prototype is very similar to that of ANSI C. The function prototype allows for better type checking and can serve as a kind of 'forward' declaration.
return_type function_name(arg1_type arg1, arg2_type arg2, ...);
Also note that the arguments need not have names:
return_type function_name(arg1_type, arg2_type, ...);
