Serial monitor problem

johnwasser:
I'm kind of surprised that " int circle(int incomingByte);" parses at all. It looks like a function prototype inside loop()!

that is a valid int constructor, even though it is being initialized with an un-initialized value...

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  int myValue(5);
  Serial.println(myValue);
}

void loop()
{

}
