Please help - Run time error
Hi i was wondering if some could help me quick with the run time error I have. I am quite new to programming and I have the course work that has to be in asap. Im sure my code is ok but im getting a run time error?
code:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>

Thanks in adavnce for the quick replies it going to to get me out of a creek.
