    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    
    char *str,select;
    
    main()
    {
    int item;
          do
          {
    		clrscr();
    		printf("1. FACTORIAL\n");
    		printf("2. FIBONACCI\n");
    		printf("3. EUCLID\n");
    		printf("4. EXIT\n");
    		printf("SELECT AN OPTION:\n");
    		scanf("%d",&item);
    		if (item==1)
    		{
    			clrscr();
    {
    long a,b,c;
    gotoxy(1,1);
    printf("RECURSIVE\n");
    printf("Enter a Number: ");
    scanf("%li",&a);
    c=1;
    b=1;
    do
    {
    printf("%li = %li*%li=%li\n",b,b,c,b*c);
    c*=b;
    b++;
    }while(b<=a);
    printf("FACTORIAL IS %li",c);
    }
    getch();
    }
    
    else if (item==2)
    		{	clrscr();
    {
    int f,a,b,c,ctr;
    gotoxy(1,1);
    printf("ITERATION\n");
    printf("ENTER A NUMBER: ");
    scanf("%d",&c);
    f=1;
    a=1;
    if(c<1)
    printf("TRY AGAIN");
    else
    printf("0\t");
    for(ctr=1;ctr<=c;ctr++)
    {
    printf("%d\t",f);
    if(ctr>1)
    {
    b=f+a;
    a=f;
    f=b;
    }
    }
    getch();
    }
    }
    
    		else if (item==3)
    
    		clrscr();

    		scanf("%li",&a);
    		printf("ENTER 2ND NUMBER :");
    		scanf("li",&b);
    		}
    		while(b>a);
    		do
    		{
    		q=a/b;
    		r=a%b;
    		printf("%li=%li(%li)+li \n",a,b,q,r);
    		a=b;
    		b=r;
    		}
    		while(r>0);
    		printf("GCD is %li",a);

    Please format your code and post what your program does along with the errors.

    [edit] After pasting your code in Dev C++ I think you will see many of your errors. Your braces are out of place.

    Based on the menu, I'd say the program outputs recurcive sequences, or something like that. Isn't this C code?

    Then why post it in the C++ forum ?

    Your code is almost unreadable because of (very) poor indentation. It's also what is causing you those errors. If your code was properly indented, you would have seen the errors. You're missing a while() at the end of a do...while() which is causing you the first error. I'd say the two others are causing by missing or incorrect braces. You may also want to space out everything a little bit and make functions for output.

    Edit:

    Note that calling main without a return type is poor coding style. It should be "int main()" or "int main(int, char**)" and nothing else.

    Edit #2:

    There are many things that will produce unwanted behavior such as while(item!="2"); which basically mean "while item is not 50". I'll let you find out why. There is also a possible case of divide by zero, which is illegal. You are also defining 3 or 4 different variables with the same name which is awful.

    Edit #3:

    Oh, and you're not using those globals at the top.

    She already posted the same thing twice in the C forum.

    People like this shouldn't be allowed to post on forums. At least they'll fail their programming course.

    Here as well - http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=96446
    When someone tells you it's in the wrong forum, wait for a mod to move it.
    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.
