Thread: C99 mode??

The following code:

Code:

void quest_one()
{
    char* guess;
    for (int a = 0; a<25; a++)
    {
        printf("\n");
    }
    printf(QOne->Desc);
    guess = getchar();
    char* answer;
    answer = "void";
    if(guess != answer)
    {
        printf("\nIncorrect, you lose!");
    }
    else if(guess == answer)
    {
        printf("congrats, you roxors!");
    }
}

keeps giving me the vague error of: For loop declared outside of C99 mode. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Perhaps somebody could also explain what C99 mode is? I've never heard of that before

Heh, thanks. Figures, I thought I tried that...

The way he's declaring the counter is part of C99. The OP is getting the error because he's not in C99 compatibility mode. There's some way of telling the compiler that you want to compile it with C99 standards, I'm sure. In gcc for instance, you add the option --std=c99
