    what does this error mean?

    Code:
    test1.c:22: error: 'one' is used uninitialized in this function
    one is a variable I assigned. I'm not sure what to make of this.

    It means you've declared a variable (one), not initialised it to have a value. Subsequent code in the function reads that value (or compares it with something).
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.

    Oh thanks! I didn't know I had to give it a value first.
