Super Newb question

[damien]

Hi guys,

I'm just starting into the world of C. As an exercise to help reiterate what I've learned I'm trying to make a madlib, for fun.

I'm running into issues trying to have the user input 2 variables of the same type.

For example, this works:

                  switch (answer) {
                         case 'Y':
                         case 'y':
                              printf("I'm so glad you want to play through my madlib!\n");
                              printf("First we'll need a Proper Noun: ");
                              scanf("%25s", propnoun);
                              printf("Now we need a Number: ");
                              scanf("%25d", &num1);
                              printf("testing %s, and %d.\n", propnoun, num1);
                              getchar ();
                              getchar ();
                              break;

But this gives a compile error of:
'Linker error' undefined reference to `Printf'

                  switch (answer) {
                         case 'Y':
                         case 'y':
                              printf("I'm so glad you want to play through my madlib!\n");
                              printf("First we'll need a Proper Noun: ");
                              scanf("%25s", propnoun);
                              printf("Now we need a Number: ");
                              scanf("%25d", &num1);
                              Printf("Sweet, give us another Number: ");
                              scanf("%23d", &num2);
                              printf("testing %s, %d, and %d.\n", propnoun, num1, num2);
                              getchar ();
                              getchar ();
                              break;

I'm sure I'm missing something very simple, a little guidance would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you have used a uppercase letter(pointed by orange color) in printf statement, that's why you are getting an linker error

switch (answer) {
                         case 'Y':
                         case 'y':
                              printf("I'm so glad you want to play through my madlib!\n");
                              printf("First we'll need a Proper Noun: ");
                              scanf("%25s", propnoun);
                              printf("Now we need a Number: ");
                              scanf("%25d", &num1);
                              Printf("Sweet, give us another Number: ");
                              scanf("%23d", &num2);
                              printf("testing %s, %d, and %d.\n", propnoun, num1, num2);
                              getchar ();
                              getchar ();
                              break;

C is case sensitive - P is different from p.

Another thing - instead of using two getchar()s, try this:

int c;
while((c = getchar()) != '\n' && c != EOF);
getchar();

My code will work if the user enters something like 123b, and yours won't.

[damien]

I knew it would be something simple that Iw as missing, I didn't realize the case sensativity, thanks to both of you.

I changed the case in my printf, and the restof the madlib has worked so far.

And I'll be trying out that while loop as well,

Thanks again!
