    C programming help

    I need some help...
    I have to make a C programme which will output the student grade as a fail or a pass , or distinction

    Must allow the user to input grade using a keybord

    >82%=Distinction
    >75%=Merit
    >30%=Pass

    I have done a code smiler to this but i keep coming into errors, I would like to compare someone else code to mine to find my errors and see where I have gone wrong

    Post your code and the errors.
    Surely we will point out to you the reason for the errors and how to correct them.

    First thing you'll want is to read in a score from the user...what part of your program is giving you problems?

    Code:
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    
    int main () {
    
    
    int score;
    
    printf("Enter student's score: \n");
    scanf("%d", score);
    
    
    system("pause");
    return (0);
    
    }

    I think you mean
    Code:
    scanf("%d", &score);

    Yes you're correct, wrote that segment very quickly

    scanf("%i", &score); will also work, it allows the user to type a number in a lot of different number systems without extra work: decimal, hexadecimal, and octal. I've started to use it, especially when I just want a number and don't care about representations, which is true a lot of the time.
