    There's a lot wrong with it, if saturday and sunny aren't variables. also, there's no "print" function - you want printf.

    hmm

    The logic doesn't look very good, anyway, is this what you
    wanted to do ?
    Code:
    if ((weather==sunny) && (day==saturday))
    {
          printf("Go to the beach\n");
    }
    else
    {
          printf("Take your umbrella\n");
    }

    Make sure that your variables are all declared and spelled correctly, then change print to printf and place brackets around the first two if statements. An else will bind with the closest if, so your logic actually runs like this:
    Code:
    if ( weather == sunny ) {
      if (day == saturday)
        printf("go to the beach\n");
      else
        printf("take your umbrella\n");
    }
    Judging from the messages, you want this to happen instead:
    Code:
    if ( weather == sunny ) {
      if (day == saturday)
        printf("go to the beach\n");
    }
    else
      printf("take your umbrella\n");
    Otherwise you would take your umbrella when it's sunny on every day but Saturday.
