    arrays

    I keep getting syntax errors.
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    void main()
    {
    	int number[10]; /* array of 10 numbers */
    	int count = 0;  /* count through the amount of times entered */
    	long sum = 0L;  /* The total amount of the numbers entered */
    	float average = 0.0f; /* average of the total / count */
    	int i = 0;			/* count through the array */
    	char newnum;		/* check if user wants to continue */
    
    
    	do				/* do  loop to go through the user input */
    	{
    	printf("\n Enter the numbers you wish to average:\n");	/* enter the numbers display to the user */
    	scanf("%d", &number[i]);								/* read input */
    	printf("Would you like to add more numbers? y or n");	/* check if user want to enter another number */
    	scanf("%c", &newnum);				/* read input */
    
    	if("%newnum == 'Y' || newnum == 'y')
    	{
    		printf("\n Enter the numbers you wish to average:\n");	/* enter new numbers if continue is true */
    		scanf("%d", &number[i]);	/* read new numbers into array */
    	}
    	else
    	
    
    	for(i = 0; i < count; i++)			/* else display the value of the numbers entered into the array */
    	{
    		printf("%d", i+1);			/* display the number of the array plus one to diplay sequenceto user */
    		scanf("The value you entered was %d", &number[i]); /* read numbers input into the array */
    		sum += number[i];	/* sum total of numbers inthe array */
    	}
    	average = (float)sum / count;		/* average of sum of numbers divided by count of numbers */
    	
    	for(i = 0; i < count; i++)	
    	{
    	printf("\nThe Number %d was %d", i + 1, number[i]);	/* display the number of the line and the corresponding value in the array */
    	printf("\n Average of the numbers entered is : %f\n", average); /* display the average of all numbers entered in the array */
    	printf("Would you like to continue? Y/N\n"); /*check if the user would like to enter a new set of numbers into the array */
    	scanf(" %c", &newnum); /* read input */
    	}
    	}while("%newnum == 'Y' || newnum == 'y'); /* if the user wants to continue, continue */
    
    	
    
    }

    Please have a read of this, then edit your post accordingly.

    Thanks
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Now, let's talk about your code

    >>void main()
    Never use void main(). You should use instead int main() and than return an value at the end of the program.

    >>if("%newnum == 'Y' || newnum == 'y')
    Try looking at the block in bold, and tell me by yourself what's the error

    >>while("%newnum == 'Y' || newnum == 'y');
    Again the same error? Remove the bold part, you dont need ", neither %

    john_murphy69:
    Look here:
    Code:
    if("%newnum == 'Y' || newnum == 'y')
    You're trying to see if the char is 'y' or 'Y'.
    But the syntax isn't like that, the right syntax is:
    Code:
    if (newnum == 'Y' || newnum == 'y')
    You understand the difference?

    No problem
    Next time, just don't forget to add the code tags, your code will be more readable and more people will want to help you.

    Enjoy coding.
