I forgot to mention: the returned type of ``store_length'' is supposed to
be of type double, but since that fact is not mentioned in main.c, the
compiler assumes it's return type to be int. Sticking a prototype in
main.c before you use store_length would be the best solution.
The argument passing in your example is still wrong, but it wasn't the reason
you got answers which surprised you.
