Armstrong numbers

I keep getting an error of multiple definition of main for armstrong numbers task. How i can i solve this in C.

Here on Exercism you don’t have to implement a whole program (with a main() function), you just have to declare/define one or multiple functions. Your solution and the tests gets compiled together into a program that runs all the tests.

Initially the the file armstrong_numbers.h looks like this:

#ifndef ARMSTRONG_NUMBERS_H
#define ARMSTRONG_NUMBERS_H

#include <stdbool.h>

bool is_armstrong_number(int candidate);

#endif

As you can see it already declares the function is_armstrong_number().

The file armstrong_numbers.c initially looks like this:

#include "armstrong_numbers.h"

Here you have to define the function that is declared in the .h file.

Hey the int main is for the print f and scan f to recieve user input or do i need to do away with it.
int main(void) {
int n;
printf(“Enter a number to check if it is an Armstrong number: “);
scanf(”%d”, &n);
if (is_armstrong_number(n)) {
printf(“%d is an Armstrong number.\n”, n);
} else {
printf(“%d is not an Armstrong number.\n”, n);
}
return 0;

make test will take care for the right compiler paramters. When you write a main function you have to compile by your own to run it via command line.

Thanks removing the main function solved the problem. So i guess focus is the solution not the user input as it is in the main functions of test.
