noob help

[Xenofon]

Hi, I'm using Dev-C++ and according to the book I'm reading the following code should display:

ch1 = H and ch2 = A

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
      int ch1,
          ch2 = `A´;
          
          ch1 = ch2+7;
          
          printf("\nch1 = %c and ch2= %c\n", ch1, ch2);
          
          fflush(stdin);
          getchar();
}

The problem is that the program doesn't accept the `A´ part, it is Dev-C++ or am i doing something wrong, it's probably something simple but I'm new at this...

Thanks!

Its 'A' not `A` or whatever you wrote...

It's not `A´, but 'A'

Thanks! now it works.

But my book does say `A´ (C for business programming, John C. Molluzzo)

Different fonts. Some word-processor type programs use "smart" quotes. They don't mix well with code.

If your book tells you to do this, you need a different book.

See the FAQ - flushing input streams is undefined.
- your input stream is flushed.
- my input stream is unchanged.
- her hard disk is reformatted.
