ok i just decided to learn c about a week ago and have gotten through a little part of C for Dummies.....good book so far, i thought i was picking it up pretty well, until i tried to actually write something other than an example out of the book......obviously its a very simple program but i can't seem to get it right
my compiler is saying: "[Warning] passing arg 1 of 'gets' makes pointer from integer without a cast" on lines 9 and 11 and a "syntax error before "a"" on line 13Code:#include <stdio.h> int main() { int a; int b; int x; printf("Enter a number:"); gets(a); printf("Enter the number you wish to multiply it by:\n"); gets(b); x=(a*b); printf("%d multiplied by %d equals %d\n" a,b,x); return(0); }
at one time i actually got the program to run, it asked me to enter a number and when i did i got one of those pop up errors that says math.c has encountered a problem and needs to close
i'm sure its something very simple im forgetting or just don't know about yet, any help or advice would be appreciated
