gcc -Wall -Werror otherBinarySearch.c -o otherBinarySearch
otherBinarySearch.c:3:13: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before numeric constant
 #define len 5
             ^
otherBinarySearch.c:5:36: note: in expansion of macro ‘len’
 int binarySearch(int array[] , int len , int searchX)
                                    ^~~

This is because pre-processor is replacing len with 5 in the function prototype.
