Peace. I was doing my assignment in programming paradigm subject. But for some unknown error I can't compile this program. I pretty sure there's no problem as far as I can see. Why it gives out the "error while linking" error?

Coding:
cube.pas

{Assignment 2 Csc305 Question 1 (i)
write function that is called CUBE}
program cubeprogram;
uses Crt;
function CUBE(x : integer) : integer;
   begin
     CUBE:= x*x*x;
   end;

var
   number, answer : integer;
begin
   writeln('Enter number to be cubed: ');
   readln(number);
   answer := CUBE(number);
   writeln('The cube of ',number, '  is ', answer);
   while not keypressed do{Wait for a key to be pressed}
end.

Error:

 - ink.res: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
 - ink.res:1: parse error
19 / 1 cube.pas    Error: Error while linking

What compiler are you using? The code seems fine, though in some compilers, the CRT library causes problems of that type.

Sorry for late reply. I was using Dev-Pascal. I think I found the problem. The file path must not have symbols or space. I changed the folder name and it finally work. I am not sure why.
