How to use table based CRC-16 code?

Question

I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on why my CRC-16 implementation does not seem to run correctly on Visual Studio? I got the algorithm from a manual for a specific device, and wrote the int main() myself. There are always 'type' errors when I try to pass the arguments to the function, so I suspect there is something wrong with the format? This is the info that came with the code:

• CRC Name : CRC-16
• Width : 16 Bits
• Polynomial Used : 1189 (hex)
• Seed Value : FFFF (hex)
• Reflected Input/Output : No
• Exclusive OR Output : No

• Test CRC for string "123456789" : 5502 (hex)
