help needed with array

hey guys, doin this program at slyfx, needed some help. The original code has pretty messed up, so i re wrote it. It copied some numbers from a file into an array. So in the new prorgam i did that manually, but i get a strange error message...any input will be appreciated

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int elements[30]={56453578,20,24850,324542,85642,385,74623,0923,789,4215,769757,694156,1721,465838,54760,4564857,4050,9415,
		72087,45843,697526,487,576478,275,443456,542345,67,8976,54356,789552};
	
	
	int k=0,res=0;
	

	for(k=0;k<=29;k++)printf("%d\n",elements[k]);

	for(k=0;k<=29;k++)
	{
		res+=(elements[k]?(elements[k]-50):69)?elements[k]:69;
		while (res>300000)
		{
			res-=elements[k]?elements[k]:169;
		}
	}

	printf("%d is the result\n",res);
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

but i get a strange error message...any input will be appreciated

Here's a novel ideal, how about sharing with us what error message you get?

Quzah.

this is the error message
error C2041: illegal digit '9' for base '8'

Does the error message mention a line the error is on? If so, post the line number and the line itself.

Code:

   int  elements[30]={56453578,20,24850,324542,85642,385,74623, 0923 ,789,4215,769757,694156,1721,465838,54760
,4564857,4050,9415,72087,45843,697526,487,576478,275,443456,542345,67,8976,54356,789552};

A number starting with a 0 means it's an octal number (base 8). The second number is a 9 and is not part of base 8 (0..7). Remove the leading 0.

thanks
