statement missing problem

Dear all,

I am a seasonal programmer, and just got back to learn how to program in C again. I need a hand for showing my mistake, any help will be much appreciated.

thnks
Nico :)

I have to work around on the problem, but I got this warning after compiling this program:

Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland
exercise.c:
Error E2379 exercise.c 14: Statement missing ; in function main
*** 1 errors in Compile ***

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/* Calculate and display the average used of gasoline */
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
/* data type */
float average, gallons, totave;
int counter, miles;

/* initializing phase */
counter = 0

/* processing phase */
printf( "Enter the gallons used (-1 to end): " );
scanf( "%d", &gallons );

if ( gallons != -1 ) {
printf( "Enter the miles driven: " );
scanf( "%d", &miles );
average = gallons / miles;
counter = counter + 1;
printf( "The miles/gallon for this tank was %f", average );
totave = average / counter;
}
else
printf( "The overall miles/gallons was %f", totave );

return 0;
}

Welcome to the boards try code tags
and your problem is right here

Code:

---

counter =0

---

should be

Code:

---

counter = 0;

---

> Error E2379 exercise.c 14: Statement missing ; in function main
14 is the approximate line number
"Statement missing ;" is an obvious message
So look around line 14 for where a ; should be.


Then there are the run-time problems
scanf( "%d", &gallons );
gallons is a float, not an int
Change the type, or change the conversion

You should also decide what it is you're programming in. Or at least make sure you're in the right forum. ;) Oh, and read the Announcement at the top of the forums. There you'll find helpful things like how to use [code] tags.

Quzah.

Dear all,

I apologize for misposting this problem, and i accept all of your suggestions. Thanks once again. :)

Hard to catch up after stop programming for long time

Rgds,
Nico
