error: parse error before "struct"

Hi i have this error in my program relating to the line

Code:

---

        itemcount(struct list *robotcommand);

---

could someone tell me what the possable error is with this or what else.

If it is supposed to be a function declaration, you need to have a return type.

Code:

---

void itemcount(struct list *robotcommand);

---

However, if you are trying to call the function itemcount, there is no need to specify the datatype.

Code:

---

itemcount(robotcommand);
