Then your idea of how C programming works must be wrong. What makes
you think it makes a difference for *you* (or your program), where
that initialization is? In other words, why would your program 'need'
that? It sure does make a difference to the C compiler and linker, as
defined by the programming language inventors, so you'll have to
follow their rules, rather than your personal preferences.

I'll show you how to modify it to get a working C program.

Change these two:

into:

  extern int d_a;
  extern int d_b;

Add two lines, here:

  int d_a=10;
  int d_b=11;

> int calcab(int a, int b)

Once you've checked that it works, now, go back to your C textbook and
read up on how to organize a program into multiple source files.
