You know what they say about horseshoes and handgrenades??? Well it usually won't apply with C (even worse: sometimes it does).

But good try. You have something backward, I don't know what you were thinking but this is what should be:

Code:

---

  printf("enter number:");
  scanf("%d",&a);
  printf("enter 2nd number:");
  scanf("%d",&b);

---

See the difference?

lol thanks, i feel like a ryt idiot now hahahaha

cheers 4 the help
