printf("Type the operator +,-,/,* and your prob in this format 5+5\n",x,y);

You don't need x and y in here just use

Code:

printf("Type the operator +,-,/,* and your prob in this format 5+5\n");

scanf("%d",&x, &y, &var);

Your missing the format specifiers for 2 of the variables and also you ask for the format to be 5+5 so the order of your variables should be x var y

Code:

scanf(%d%c%d", &x, &var, &y);

That should get you going you might want to add a default to your switch to allow for an incorrect symbol.

Your almost there you just got an extra scanf you don't need.
remove the first one

scanf("%d",&x,&var,&y);

and move the second scanf to where the first scanf was, also change the second %d to %c, You should end up with

Code:

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <math.h> 

int main() 

{ 
   int x,y; 
   char var; 

   printf("Type the operator +,-,/,* and your prob in this format 5+5\n"); 
   scanf("%d%c%d",&x,&var,&y); 
   
   switch(var) 
   { 
      case '+': printf("Answer = %d\n",x+y); 
                    break; 
      default : printf(" please try that again\n "); 
                    break; 
   } 
}

Now it should definatley work

i was creating a calc because i heard that is the best thing to start off ... but after this calc what can i move on to next... that will also help me..

Well the best thing is work from a book, these set you exercises which will give a sense of acheviement when you accomplish them and keep your interest alive.
so good titles have been suggested here
Apart from that you need to find a particular area which you enjoy the most and research that
