No you're not... you're using DevC++ ... a whole different language. There is no Dev C.

Also you should be aware that compiler and IDE have been abandonware for most of a decade. The compiler is hopelessly out of date and the guy who wrote the IDE is noplace to be found.

I think, you should give serious consideration to getting onto a purely C compiler, C-99 compliant, and a new IDE that is up to date...
I generally suggest Pelles C but there are others you can use.

Double Header! ... Hi Quzah...

ops... that was silly of me...that happen cuz I started over and it automatically had that part and I didn't double check it sorry..... I'm extremely new so ya sorry.
lets try this again..... why am I still getting errors...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h> 

int main()
{    
     {int number;
     printf(" enter a positive number between 1 and 10:");
     }
     {if( (number < 1) || (number > 10) ) 
     printf("The number is out of range. (1-10)\n");
     }
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

AND another double header... Hi again Quzah!

LOL... Point taken.

ya I know I'm probably annoying I'm I am trying to learn and I really don't know what I am doing ok tried fixing it again...and I failed
something wrong with the pause... dunno

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h> 

int main()
{    
     int number;
     printf(" enter a positive number between 1 and 10:");

scanf("%d",&number);
     
     if( (number < 1) || (number > 10) ) 
        printf("The number is out of range. (1-10)\n");
     
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

When stuff like that happens... look up the keyword in your C library documentation... (which is exactly what I just did)

In this case the problem is that you need to #include <stdlib.h> or it doesn't know what system() is.

Quzah.

With over a thousand functions in the library, nobody is going to memorize even half of them... and it only gets worse in Windows API where there are over 30,000 functions... Knowing how to look stuff up is probably the programmer's second most important skill.

And ... ... in Pelles C all you have to do is press F1.

ok I'm getting closer... I got 1 now I'm on number 2 and I need help again Lol thank you guys for being patient and helpful to a newbie like me!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
 

int main()
{    
     int number;
     printf(" enter a positive number between 1 and 10:");
     scanf("%d",&number);
     
     if( (number < 1) || (number > 10) ) 
        printf("The number is out of range. (1-10)\n");
     
     /* Check to see if number is odd or even #1 */
     if ((number & 1) > 0)
      printf("%d is odd\n",number);
      else 
      printf("%d is even\n", number); 
     
      /* cube the number #2 */
      number*number*number
      printf("%d is the cube of that number\n"); 
      
    
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
