Thread: error stray 342 in programm

Hello

i want that the user inputs an number, wich will be printed .
If he doesnt input a number but f.e a character, than the while shouldnt run (because it would be 0 ) and the last printf will not work.
For some reason codeblocks is giving me an error message saying

Code:

#include<stdio.h>


int
main()


{


int number;
printf("please type a number");
while (scanf(“%d”,&number)==1)
{
printf("you tiped the number %d",number); 
}


return 0;


}

I went to codeblocks and edited the encoding to ASCII ,if you meant that.
But it seems that this is not the problem.
I still try to build it and the same error messages appear ...

Look at the quotes in the "scanf()" call - those are "smart quotes", which your compiler does not recognize. As GReaper mentioned, there may be other stray invisible characters, as well.

ok.i understood that with the quotes.
But still dont know how to solve that problem ..

Did you get additional errors after fixing the quote issue?

in an example program you can take those characters to a char and see what value it is actually is. You can then bounce off an ascii table online to see if it is actual quotes.

GReaper , you were right!
i rewrote the code in a new program by my self and everything works .
I can not understand what the problem was, but thank you!!!!!!
