    loop question

    This simple loop I made is supposed to print two columns down the screen, and then it stops. When I run it by itself in this test program, the loop never exits. It looks fine to me, I'm lost.

    [
    Code:
    ]
    main()
    {
      int yval=8;
      clrscr();
       while(yval<21)
         {
         gotoxy(30,yval);
         printf("|");
         gotoxy(50,yval);
         printf("|");
         yval=+2;
       }
    }
    [
    ]

    > main()
    int main()

    > yval=+2;
    This should be
    Code:
    yval +=2
    Add a return statement at the end of function main.
