}

also....

int main (void)

not void main()

and gotos are the scum of programming - nearly as bad as system calls

what is so bad about gotos? and i dun understand y would u i go
int main(void)


????? but whats wrong with my if statements?

goto - you can read the faq - they are considered bad programmoing practice

it is int main (void) regardless of which books, friends or teachers tekk you otherwise

the return return value returns a value to the calling function or in the case of main to the os - it does return a value which is why it should be initialized as int - as no params arte passed you mark it int main(void)

thats the way it is and the way professional programmers do it

ok ill read the goto thing but whats wrong with my if statements tahts it giving me errors
