Thread: HELP me please, New to C programming.

Hi,
This is my first assignment in my C programming course and I feel completely lost, the only thing I know is that a semicolon ends a line of text.
The assignment is to debug what the professor gave us, he also gave us a program that shows what it should do.
There are errors that prevent compiling and errors that cause the program to run incorrectly.

Any help is greatly apreciated!

Please post the code in [code][/code] tags, and make sure it's properly formatted and indented. Also, please post the sample of what it should look like (code tags may be good here too)

Our homework policy prevents me from giving you any answers, but hopefully the following will help you get started. Give it your best effort, and post what you think the errors are, and we'll help you sort it all out.

Regarding only knowing about semicolons:
1. You have been taught more than semicolon ends a line of text*. You need to review your notes, texbook, and any other materials.
2. You have not been taught everything you need yet. Sometimes school/homework/tests are not simply about regurgitating what you have already been taught, but how you figure out what you need to know to solve a problem.

It helps to know about the different kinds of errors you can encounter. These aren't for C, but the concepts are the same.

Also, you should know how printf and scanf work, so you can recognize if/where they are being used incorrectly.

* Technically, that is not very accurate, a semicolon ends a statement. C can hvae lines of text not ending in a semicolon.
