    Question error in compiling addition program

    hello, i'm total noob at c coding. My teacher gave me some codes to test (addition program)
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    main()
    {
    clrscr()
    int n1,n2,sum;
    printf("\nInput two numbers:");
    scanf("%d,%d",&n1,&n2);
    sum = n1+n2
    printf("\nThe sum is "%d",sum);
    getch();
    }
    when i compile the code
    i get an error
    Expression syntax in function main()
    undefined symbol 'n1' in function main()
    undefined symbol 'n2' in function main()
    undefined symbol 'sum' in function main()
    i don't know what to do with this n1, n2,sum or make them a defined symbol i guess. plss help

    You're missing semicolons at the end of certain lines, and main() needs a type, namely int. As such, main() needs to return an int, 0 if successful.

    thanks epy about missing a semicolon at clrscr(). now i have only 1 error and that is
    line 10 : undefined symbol 'd' in function main ()
    line 10 : unterminated string or character constant in function main
    Code:
    printf("\n, The sum is "%d",sum);

    Yeah, when using certain characters within a string in C, you need to "escape" them, i.e.

    Code:
    printf("\nThe sum is \"%d\"", sum);
