Declaring parameters in function header

[KarlSciberras]

Note the following piece of code:

int func (myval) 
  int myval;  
{
  //statements...
}

The code below, seems to me the equivalent:

int func (int myval) 
{
  //statements...
}

My questions are:

1. What is the difference between the two pieces of code ?
2. Are there any advantages of using one method instead of the other ?

The first example is classic C from the mysts of time...

The second example is the more recent ANSI version.
