Don't ask for homework answers. Write some code and try asking again.

sorry..this what i've done so far..would tou mind to look and comment at it..i'm using codeBlocks btw..thanks..

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    char u;
    char field;
    int age;

    printf("Enter you university: \n");
    printf("Enter your field: \n");
    printf("Enter your age: \n");

    scanf("%c", &u);
    scanf("%c", &field);
    scanf("%d", &age);


    if ( u == 'i')

     { if ( age >= 25)
       printf("Congratulation 1");
       else if (age >=25 && age <=30)
       printf("Congratulation 2");
       else
       printf("Sorry 1");
     }
     else
     {
         if(age >= 25 && age <=40)
         printf("Congratulation 3");
         else if (age >=25 && age<=35)
         printf("Congratulation 4");
         else
         printf("Sorry 2");
     }
return 0;

}

What exactly are you asking about? Does it do what you expect? Use the code tags.

[tabstop]

1. Do you really expect university and field to be just a single character long? You may want to set aside many chars (as in, a char array) to hold those answers.

2. I am curious as to how you expect any of your else-if statements to be true. For instance, congratulations 1 is printed whenever age is bigger than 25, so the else part of that statement will only happen for people under 25; and no one with an age less than 25 has an age between 25 and 30.
