Thread: Error compiling. Problem with my text editor?

This is a very simple math program and I can't get it to compile for the life of me. I can't find anything at all wrong with it. I'm wondering if it's the text editor I'm using inserting invisible characters into my code.

Please help.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
     
int main (void)
   {
      int num1;
      int num2;
      int num3;
      int num4;
      int ans;

      printf("\nEnter four numbers in the format nnn nnn nnn nnn\n");
      scanf("%d %d %d %d", &num1, &num2, &num3, &num4); \

      ans = ( num1 + num2 - num3 ) * num4; 

      printf("\n(%d + %d - %d) * %d = %d\n" num1, num2, num3, num4, ans);
      return 0;
   } // main

I would say that's pretty visible, really. Oh and your compiler should have even told you what line to look at.

I removed that and still problems. ???

Fixed. All is well.
