Identifier not found error on function call

Add this line before main function:

void swapCase (char* name);

int main()
{
   ...
   swapCase(name);    // swapCase prototype should be known at this point
   ...
}

This is called forward declaration: compiler needs to know function prototype when function call is compiled.
