    beginners error

    Code:
    I am
    Code:
    new to programming in c and my task is to write a simple program that is able to compute the area under a curb using the trapezoidal rule. I wrote the program but it will not compile, the error I m getting is:
     
     expected expression before â}â token
    project1.c:24: error: expected â;â before numeric constant
     
    and this are my codes:
     
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(void)
    {
             int a, b, N,h,i,counter,A;
            
     printf(" enter the interval a and b");
     scanf("%d\n%d\n", &a, &b);
            
     prinf("enter the number of trapezoids you would like to  use");
            scanf("%d\n", &N);
            
     h= (b-a)/N;
            
     while((h*((i*i)+(counter*counter))/N) <= N){
                      for(i=a; i<=b; i++)
                               for(counter=a; counter=b; counter++){
           A=(h*((i*i)+(counter*counter))/2);
            }
    
    printf("the area under the curb from %d to %d is: %d", a, b, A);
            
    counter 0;
    }
