	At this point, you have not declared the return type of
	check_value(), so the compiler (properly) assumes it is
	a function that returns an int.

	Your later error is because you then *later* declare
	checkvalue() as returning "char *", which conflicts with
	what you indicated above.

	You can either:

		(1) put a function declaration above line 86:
			char *checkvalue();

		(2) or move the definition of checkvalue() above
			main().

	You have to tell the compiler the return type before the
	first call, or the compiler assumed you mean it's an int.

	This is standard C.

	Hope this helps.
