I have two errors in my C program, how do i fix them? I've included the full program for more context

for this segment of code I am getting the error: invalid type argument of unary '*' (have 'int') on the line with the while statement

char removeSpaces( char ptr ){

while ( *ptr == ' ') ptr++; return ptr; }

this line of code I am getting the error: error: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]|

ptr = removeSpaces( ptr );

full program:

#include #include #include

void removeNewLine( char *line){ line[ strlen(line) -1 ] = '\0'; }

char removeSpaces( char ptr ){

while ( *ptr == ' ') ptr++; return ptr; }

int main() {

while(1) {

// arrays to store cmd and arguments char line[80] = ""; int i = 0; int command = 1; int Redirection = 0;

// cleaning all the buffers fflush(0);

printf("myShell1$ "); fgets( line, 80, stdin);

char *ptr = line;

removeNewLine( line );

ptr = removeSpaces( ptr );

// Checking if there are arguments or just new line char if ( *ptr == ' ' ) continue;

if ( strcmp(ptr,"exit") == 0 ) return 0;

char *token; char sep[2] = " ";

token = strtok(line, sep);

while( token != NULL ) {

if ( command == 1 ){ printf("Command : %s ", token); command = 0; } else if ( *token == '-') { ++token;

while( *token != '\0'){ printf("Option : %c ", *token); ++token; } } else if ( strcmp(token,"<") == 0 ) { printf("File Redirection : %c ", *token); Redirection = 1; } else if ( strcmp(token,">") == 0 ) { printf("File Redirection : %c ", *token); Redirection = 1; } else if ( strcmp(token,"|") == 0 ) { printf("pipe "); command = 1; } else{

if ( Redirection == 1 ){ printf("File : %s ", token); Redirection = 0; } else printf("Argument : %s ", token); }

token = strtok(NULL,sep); } } }
