I can't find my error?
To be clear i'm a newb, and I don't know what I did to prevent my code from running, any thoughts?
insertCode:Code:#include<stdio.h> #include<math.h> #define PI 3.14159 int main () { int n; printf("Please enter a value: \n"); scanf("%d",&n); printf("\n"); n! = ((pow(n,n)*exp(-n)*sqrt((2.0*n+(1.0/3.0))PI); printf("%d! equals approximately",n!); return 0; }
I would start by removing the "!" sign in "n! =".

I'm still stuck, here's the new code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
#define PI 3.14159
int main ()
{
int n;
float x;
printf("Please enter a value: \n");
scanf("%d",&n);
x = pow(n,n)*exp(-n)*sqrt(2*n+(1/3))*PI);
printf("%d equals approximately",x);
return 0;
}

For starters, you should indent your code properly, e.g.,
Next, I believe you have a compile error. What is the error message, and what do you understand of it?Code:#include<stdio.h> #include<math.h> #define PI 3.14159 int main() { int n; float x; printf("Please enter a value: \n"); scanf("%d", &n); x = pow(n, n) * exp(-n) * sqrt(2 * n + (1/3)) * PI); printf("%d equals approximately",x); return 0; }
By the way, please post code in [code][/code] bbcode tags.

This is what appears,
So, take a look at this line and match each opening parenthesis with a closing parenthesis:
Code:x = pow(n, n) * exp(-n) * sqrt(2 * n + (1/3)) * PI);

I guess that last parenthesis was useless. LOL.
Yes. However, just because you have fixed all your compile errors does not mean that there is no logical error with your code, so carefully check to see if for various test input, the actual output is equal to the expected output.
