line 10: incompatible types in initializer

Hi Friends

I am new to C programming. I am using C compiler of Miracle C.
I am using header stdio.h only.

I am getting this compile Error.

line 10: incompatible types in initializer



short jansold=23500;
short febsold=19300;
short marsold=21600;
float Revquarter=0.0f;

long quartersold = jansold + febsold + marsold ; // line 10

I really dont know what is wrong here. I have a doubt that might be i need any header file.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Regards

Veronica

Should compile ok. But with Miracle C you never know.
You'd overflow a short anyway
I'd try

Code:

---

long quartersold =(long)jansold +(long) febsold +(long) marsold; // line 10

---

Yeah it does compile OK with the compiler i'm using (MSVC++ 6.0) and i couldn't say why you are getting an error.

By the way, i don't know the Miracle C compiler.

hi Zuk

Thanks for the reply. I just give type (long) and it works fine now.

thanks

Veronica.

Your problem is that Miracle C is a PoS. It routinely fails to compile even the most trivial of programs.

Get say visual studio express, or perhaps the code::blocks IDE with the MinGW compiler (available as a single downloadable package).
