Help needed.

Hi guys could i get some help with this problem.

Write a program to verify if the following expression is true.x^2 - y^2 = (x + y) * (x - y)The program will do the following:

1. ask the user to enter the value of x and y;2. calculate the left member of the expression3. calculate the right member of the expression

4. check if the two values are equal.


This is what ive done so far but i dont know where to go from here.


#include "stdio.h"
void main () (
int x= , int y=
printf ("\n enter values of x and y\n");
int sum1 = x*x-y*y;
int sum2 = (x+y)*(x-y);
scanf("%d", &sum1); // read sum1
scanf("%d", $sum2); // read sum2
if sum1==sum2;
printf ("\n the two calues are equal \n");

First off, learn the right way to post code... POSTING CODE

#include "stdio.h"

void main () 
  (
     int x= , int y=
     printf ("\n enter values of x and y\n");
     int sum1 = x*x-y*y;
     int sum2 = (x+y)*(x-y);
     scanf("%d", &sum1); // read sum1
     scanf("%d", $sum2); // read sum2
     if sum1==sum2;
      printf ("\n the two calues are equal \n);

Now... you have errors on almost every line.

Line 3 ... it's not void main() ... the correct form of main is...

int main (void)

Line 4 ... you have a bracket to open the code section of the function. You need a curly brace there.
Line 5 ... int x = , int y= ... is an incomplete stament that will return syntax errors from your compiler.
Line 6 ... Grammar counts... Capitalize your displayed sentences.
Lines 7 and 8 ... what are the values of x and y in these calculations?
Lines 8 and 9 .... not only are your scanf() statements ill formed, you are actually inputting to the wrong variables.
Line 10 ... you have no brackets around your conditional in the if() statement. And exactly what are you comparing?
Line 11... Capitalization and spelling errors

Also, you are missing the return value from main() (required by the operating system) and you have no closing brace for main()

why did you put int x= and int y= ???
