C function syntax, parameter types declared after parameter list

by

That’s the old-style syntax for parameter lists, which is still supported. In K&R C you could also leave off the type declarations and they would default to int. i.e.

main(argc, argv)
char *argv[];
{
    return 0;
}

would be the same function.
