hello
i am new to c/c++
i am trying to compile some basic c code in dev-C++ but keep getting the following error
C:\DEV-C_~1\INCLUDE\stdio.h:1: unterminated comment
i know the code is correct so could someone please advise me what correction i need to make to the compiler.
thanks
the code is definatley correct.
the compiler is dev c++ 4
i have quickly become aware how frustrating programming can be.
i have rectified the problem... the code IS compiling now.
thanks for taking the time to try and help. no doubt i will be back on the forums many times in the future.
:)

So what was the problem.... let others learn from your experiences too.

Asking somebody to help you without showing them your errors produces similar results.
i manually deleted the dev- c++ compiler and reinstalled it (i did this twice) and it worked on the third installation... as simply as that... i dont know why it decided to work this time
That seems a bit strange.... oh well, at least you got it going.
I was going to suggest this, which I found in google's NG archive:
It's a bit old, and probably nothing like what you're running.... but it would have been my only shot...Quote:
Using " and ' in a comment started with // results in an
"Unterminated string or character constant"
if you hand it in a .c file to gcc without telling anything about
C++.
