Cannot Assign return value to Token struct

[wheat sigil]

I want to assign the variable token of the Token struct a value which it gets from the function which also returns a token, but vs code tells me that its an int?

Well the function returns an int

Show us the declaration of get_next_token()

I'm gonna take a wild guess that you didn't include the header that has the function definition/the function isn't defined so it just assumed it's an extern returning int

Or something like this

[arctic maple]

Also your function that you call in your lex function is get_next_token but the function immediately above is get_next_Token (i.e. with a capitalized T)

iirc that's a thing in C

[hollow rune]

Yeah so it's just an implicit function declaration thing

[arctic maple]

Yeah, that's literally his mistake

[hollow rune]

Because the function they call doesn't exist the compiler assumed it returns int

[wheat sigil]

yea ... that fixed it 😅

[hollow rune]

Op fyi

If you call a function that isn't declared, the compiler will assume it's a function that returns int
