a syntax error in expression near "if"
hey i m using code::blocks for c programming and when i take help of debugger in below code it show ..
a syntax error in expression near "if"..
i m just checking debugger ...i m begginer .....
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { char s1[100]; int i; puts("enter s1"); gets(s1); for(i=0;s1[i];i++) { if(((s1[i]<65)||(s1[i]>90))&&((s1[i]<97)||(s1[i]>122))) { strcpy(s1+i,s1+i+1); i--; } } puts(s1); return 0; }
The code itself is ok. Are you sure you have all the right compilers and settings? Can you run a "hello world"?
Code - functions and small libraries I use
It’s 2014 and I still use printf() for debugging.

After running it, read why gets is bad and should never be used!
fgets on the other hand is just fine

I just compiled it in code::blocks with no problem
Have you got any other projects open at the same time that could be getting compiled by accident instead?

the code is running fine ...no problem with code but why its show error when i take help of debugger.....Originally Posted by Click_here
is anyone here can help me to understand debugger...
Well perhaps you should post a more accurate error message (from the debugger).
Apart from using gets(), the other issue the code has is your use of strcpy.
> strcpy(s1+i,s1+i+1);
strcpy is UNDEFINED when copying overlapping strings - like copying one part of a string to another part of itself.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
What is the objective of your code naresh? No problem in string functions. But check your logic, because your loop is stopping you from what you want to do. 'Hint: Check line 11 & 13 again for logic. And esp Line 15 & what follows afterwards doesn't stay in the loop, you jump out of the if condition. Also, notice the data type for s1? Compare it with what you're doing by incrementing that data type with the data type 'i'? what happens when you do that within strcpy? that's for strings. did you mean s1[I] & s1[I+1]?
