Yes. I understand this part.

What I'm saying is todigit() is declared before its use. todigit()
expects a char as its argument (in the original code). Ok?

Why is gcc complaining? 

Because we used the flag -Wconversion. 

Ok?


To sum it up: I won't use the flag as it does more harm than good.


Right,
