hey, stupid question but...

[fallen751]

I was wondering if anyone could give me any help. I keep coming up with an error when I try to use this function definition. I haven't declared the function in anywhere else other then this, and it is ahead of any calls to the function so I let it be its own prototype.

int intMax(int x, int y)
{                                //here is where I get the syntax error
	int max = x;
	if(y > max)
	{
   		max = y;
	}
   return max;
}

would I have to use it as an inline function? any help would be great!
