    Question what could be wrong with this programming?

    Code:
    # include <std.h>
    
    int main ()
    
    {
    
             int x;
          
             for(x=0; x<10; x++){
    
            printf(" %d/n" , x)
           
             }
          
           getchar();
    
           return 0;
    
    }
    was trying out the loope for and compiled this simple programme bt i dont understand what the output means. pls, could someone compile it and let me know what the problem could be?

    1. Learn how to indent
    2. Each number you see (when it's compiled) will be the 0-based iteration number, ie, it starts at 0, then runs again 1, then 2 and so on... really look at a C tutorial regarding for loops...

    And what problem?

    #include <stdio.h>
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    > printf(" &#37;d/n" , x)
    If you actually have output, then it would be from a different program, not this one.
    This line is missing a ; and the / should be \

    Try to post code which you actually tried, and the actual output you got.

    Posting paraphrased code and "it doesn't work" won't get you much quality information.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Even if the others said it before, I am saying it all in one

    Fisrst of all, If u do not want to indent, because C does not require it( I reccomend u to learn it), u can just put all of te code on no indent!

    Second, From what I see, You know nothing about C, no offence! I do not know much myself!

    And third, as a good practice, write your own code, don't just copy!


    As Keringham and Ritchie said, and many others, "You can only learn to program in a language, just by writing programs in it"

    Writing code is a very good practice

    Sry for any offence and I hope you will take these people's advice and learn C!
    It is a fascinating language!
