A very stupid newbie question

Hello all. I am brand new to C/C++, in fact I am taking a course on it as we speak.

I am hung up on our very first program and I need to make sure I'm not doing something stupid.

Basically, I can't get /n or /r to carriage return to a new line. Here is my code:

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
    printf("Testing.../n..1/n...2/n....3/n");
}

---

Pretty simple huh....

Now here is the output I receive:

Testing.../n..1/n...2/n....3/n

What am I doing wrong? I have tried compiling this in Vis C++ and in Devcpp 4.... I realize I'm new to this but it's gonna be a long class if I can't get past this!

TIA for your help!

Try \n not /n

:)

Thank you kind sir. That's all it was.... Apparently my class notes were wrong!!!

You could make it really fancy if you wanted:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main ( void )
{
        int Counter;
        printf("Testing..\n");
        for ( Counter = 1; Counter < 4; Counter++ )
        {
                printf("%i\n", Counter);
        }
        return 0;
}

What is %i ..Used for integers????Never seen anything like that before??? I would like an explanation

DaIn

%i is conversion specification for a signed decimal integer. Same as %d

Mr. C

Oh just thought you would also want to know how to print out the backslash (\) character too
you just do \\
and \' to print out '
\" to print out "
\? to print out ?
