> 1. The following function, which computes the area of a triangle, contains two errors. Locate the errors and show how to fix them. (*Hint*: There are no errors in the formula)
```c
double triangle_area(double base, height)
double product;
{
	product = base * height;
	return product / 2;
}
```

Answer:
```c
// A type annotation is needed for `height`
double triangle_area(double base, double height)
{
	// The `product` variable declaration was not in the function block.
	double product;
	product = base * height;
	return product / 2;
}
```

> 2. Write a function `check(x, y, n)` that returns `1` if both `x` and `y` fall between zero and `n - 1` inclusive. The function should return 0 otherwise. Assume that `x`, `y`, and `n` are all of type int
```c
int check(int x, int y, int n) {
	if (x < 0)
}
```
