Point Out Mistake!!!

I m learner . this is my 3 rd programming ..plz help me..
I wrote this programme today but at last while i m compling than there is no problem but when runnung it give me option to ignore , skip all odds some thing like this , plz point the mistake..

And if some body has turbo c 3.00 plz provide me that...

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int a,b,c;
float x,d;
printf("Enter the Numbers a,b,c,d);
scanf("%d %d %d %f" , &a,&b,&c,&d0;

x=a*b+c*d;

printf("%f" , x);

getchar();  
}

Can i write down the program in Bold here?

Well you could start by posting the code you actually compiled, rather than the random stuff you thought you had which doesn't compile.

i have complied it....

with what compiler?

and why do you want turbo c 3?

bloodshed and microsoft both have a free to use IDE that work well and output error messages as to whats wrong with your code. you can download the IDE produced by bloodshed from here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/d....9.2_setup.exe or from microsoft here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ex...ualc/download/

> i have complied it....
Well your compiler is crap.

printf("Enter the Numbers a,b,c,d);
This is missing a "

scanf("%d %d %d %f" , &a,&b,&c,&d0;
You forgot to hold down the shift key to make that 0 a )

i think my compiler is really crap ....even i i can't select the text ,i typed...

i m trying the given link now

i just installed the compiler u said. thnx pal
I think this compiler will solve my 40 % problem and rest 40% will be solved by u all..

I will solve 20 % of my self...

Thanks Pal for the compiler i will be back soon with problems..

Now This code has no errors.....it also runs and according to the programing ...it asks for input "enter basic salary"
as i put the value....run window get closed everytime help me friends...

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
      float bs,gs,da,hra;
      
      
      
      printf("enter basic salary");
     scanf("%f",&bs);
      
      if(bs<1500)
      {
                 hra=bs*10/100;
                 da=bs*90/100;
                 }
                 else
                 {
                     hra=500;
                     da=bs*98/100;
                     }
                 
      gs=bs+hra+da;
      printf("Gross Salary=Rs%f",gs);
      getchar();           
         
}

Code:

int main()

should be

Code:

int main(void)

Code:

 printf("enter basic salary");

should be

Code:

 printf("enter basic salary\n");

Notice I put in '\n'. Under ANSI C, failing to include '\n' in the printf() function could lead to undefined behavior.

Code:

scanf("%f",&bs);

This should be re-written like:

Code:

if ( scanf("%f",&bs) ==1)

scanf() blows. But if you must use it, check for the return value. In this case, when when I check for the return value, the function would discard input like letters after the numbers. It's not perfect, but it's sort of respectable.

Okay, the hangover is getting worse. At the end of your program, put in the line of code

Code:

return 0;

As for the windows closing, I do believe this is an Operating Specific/compiler Specific Issue. Check your compiler to see if there is some kind of option to keep the window open after the program executes.

Thnx Pal... A shake Hand From me ,For u..... Thanks Again

For the window closing it depends on the Operating System. What OS are you on?

Okay, I just want to elaborate a little on why you should always have something like

Code:

return 0;

at the end of main().
C is a general programming language. This means it tends to muck together a lot of computer science concepts. Moving along...Having a return value at the end of main() is a property of a function. Some other languages will also use procedures. This is a different beast. The main thing to understand is that C has functions and functions return a value. This is something you should keep in the back of your head when you start doing more coding.

Main can also return other things. Whatever it returns it returns to the operating system. 0 usually signals success. So saying

Code:

return 0;

tells your operating system that your program successfully ended.

To make your program stay on the screen...
You can use getchar() to pause and wait for the user to press enter. You do not need to assign this to anything. Just add a line at the end of the program that is

Code:

getchar();

Or if using Dev-C++ (which I think you are) you can use getch() This is defined in stdio at least in Dev-C++. It does not display any text that you type in but it does pause your program until the user hits any key. The key does not need to be enter it can be anything. Like getchar() You just add a line at the end of your program that is

Code:

getch();

No arguments or assignments, just the funtion. Hope this helps.
~Sven

I wouldn't recommend getch(), it's not a standard function. You could printf() "Press enter to quit" and add a getchar() on the end. You could say "press enter to continue" and add this anywhere in your program, really.

The program is a commandline program, and was made to run from the command line. Thus the immediate exit.

Stop my Windows Console from disappearing everytime I run my program?
