    Simple Case is messed

    Hi,

    I had this working before but now it doesn't seem to work. Whenever I type the number in it goes to the error message. It should print the message for each number.

    Please help.

    #include <stdio.h>

    int barnum;

    void main()

    {

    printf(“What is the reading on your barometer?”);
    scanf(“%d”, barnum);

    switch(number)

    { //START of case

    case 1:
    printf(“STORM: Wear something suitable for a storm!\n\n”);
    break;

    case 2:
    printf(“RAIN: Wear a raincoat!\n\n”);
    break;

    case 3:

    printf(“CHANGE: Wear a jacket and take an umbrella!\n\n”);
    break;

    case 4:
    printf(“FAIR: Wear a jacket just in case!\n\n”);
    break;

    case 5:
    printf(“DRY: You’ll be ok! Wear hardly any clothes at all!\n\n”);
    break;

    default:
    printf(“You entered an invalid number you idiot!”);

    } //END of case

    }

    switch(barnum)

    your scanf should also read:

    scanf("%d", &barnum);

    And don't use void main, use
    int main ( void )

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.
