Thread: error stray 240 in program

I'm looking for a bit of help here with my program. I keep getting a error saying stray 240 in program on a lot of the lines in my code. can anyone show me were I went wrong and how do I fix it? any help would be great I'm stuck at this for the last 4 hours and cant solve it

Code:

#include <math.h>
void input(int *, int *);
void calculation(int, int, int*, int*);
void output(int, int, int, int);
int main()
{  
 int feet, inches , meters, centimeters;
 input(&feet, &inches);
 calculation(feet, inches, &meters, &centimeters);
 output(feet, inches, meters, centimeters);
void input(int *f, int *i)
{
  printf("Enter feet:\n");
  scanf("%d", f);
  printf("Enter inches:\n");
  scanf("%d", i);
}
void calculation(int f, int i, int *m, int *c);
{
  *m=f*0.312;
  *c=i*2.54;
}
void output(int f, int i, int m, int c)
{
  printf("%d feet and %d inches converted is %d meters and %d  centimeters \n", f, i, m, c);
}
    do
        {
           printf("To go again      press Y\n"); // send back to start 
           printf("To exit program  press N\n"); // exits program            
           scanf("%c", &choice);
        } 
    while(choice != 'Y' && choice != 'y' && choice != 'N' && choice != 'n');
    while(choice == 'Y' || choice == 'y');
}  
return 0;

found out what was wrong, when I moved all my code tight to the left it worked

I have no idea what "stray 240" is, but your code is a total mess. You can't define functions inside of main. Put them after main. Then space your program properly and make sure all the braces and loops match up.

"Stray 240" probably means byte values of decimal 240 (0xF0) that somehow ended up in your program text. Moving your code to the left probably erased them. You should reformat it now.
