Thread: Some Help Please

I'm having a problem with some homework and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction... the purpose of this project is to write a program that will store values for a "cd" memory database test the values so see if they will fit on the cd and when all values are entered print out summery of the entered values sorted by song #. I haven't been able to implement everything yet but am getting 2 compile time errors I can't seem to fix. Because I basically don't know what they mean. Thanks to anyone for their help in advance.

int mysonlist[SIZE];

int total_left = 2700;
int tt = 0;
int min_left;
int seconds_left;
int min;
int sec;
int son;
int sum_min = 0;
int sum_sec = 0;
char ch;

while (ch != 'q'){

printf("\nEnter the song # you would like to add (or q to quit):");
scanf("%d",&son);
printf("\nHow many minutes long is song %d?",son);
scanf("%d",&min);
printf("\nHow many seconds long is song %d?",son);
scanf("%d",&sec);
total_left = (total_left - (min*60) - sec);
tt = (total_time + (min*60) + sec);
min_left = (time_left/60);
sec_left =(total_left - (min_left*60));

if (time_left >= 0){
printf("Song #%d will fit on the cd you may include it.");
mysonlist[son] = son;
myminlist[son] = min;
myseclist[son] = sec;
}

else if (time_left <= 0){
printf("Song #%d will not fit onto the cd you can't include it.");
}
} // end while

if(ch == 'q'){

printf("\n");

You were right about that.... thier is something wrong now with my for loop it's infinate and I don't see why and I just want a push in the right direction on how to sort the end list without having a bunch of white space. I fixed the multiple little errors in the code so it will compile now and is more workable.

I dumped the needless code..... I assumed the first time it was the for loop giving me the problem but it's looping the if loop it seems.

OMG... WTF I'm an idiot.

**** me but this still isn't working....

Ok... I furgot to explain the current problem that's not being fixed... when the while (ch != 'y'){ loop goes through it seems to run fine but makes no mind and just skips the scanf on the 2,3,4.. interations of the loop. And if I enter no on the 1st time it dosn't take mind of it. Whats the proper way to write this error checking in c?
