Thread: Newbie here trying to teach myself programming in c

Ok I am trying to teach myself programming in c but I am lost. I have gotten through the first few tutorials but I am stuck on this one.

I need my output to be as the following:

This program will do some computations.

The two numbers I am using in this program are 63 and 25.

The Sum of 63 plus 25 is 88.

This is what i have written so far but I am so lost on this. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Please I am getting an error on line 12 at the {

Code:

/*mavrakp1.c */
/*Created by Colleen Mavrakos 2/7/2006 */

#include <stdio.h>

main () {

	 printf("This program will do some computations\n");
	 printf("The two numbers I am using in this program are 63 and 25.\n");
	 return 0;
}
{
	 int sum;
	 sum = 63 + 25;
	 printf ("The Sum of 63 and 25 is %i\n", sum);

}

or should it be something like this:

Code:

/*mavrakp1.c */
/*Created by Colleen Mavrakos 2/7/2006 */

#include <stdio.h>

main () {

	 printf("This program will do some computations\n");
	 printf("The two numbers I am using in this program are 63 and 25.\n");
	 return 0;

{
	 int  sum;
	 int  num1 = 63;
	 int  num2 = 25;

	 sum = num1 + num2;    // addition
}

I get the second one to run with no errors but the "The sum of 63 plus 25 is 88" is not showing up.
