I am a noob
and this is my first post
so hello


and i would like to know if you can tell me what is wrong with my code
i am just starting c so her is my C program

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    // insert code here...
    printf(“Why does every programmer look like this...\n”);
    printf(“~~\n”);
    printf(“-00-\n”);
    printf(“-\n”);
    printf(“U\n”);
    return 0;
}

the compiler puts the words
error: syntax error at 'OTHER' token
below every
line that has printf on it

Try this : (It might look same, but after careful observation, you can spot the difference(s) )

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    // insert code here...
    printf("Why does every programmer look like this...\n");
    printf("~~\n");
    printf("-00-\n");
    printf("-\n");
    printf("U\n");
    return 0;
}

Copy the exact code above and paste in your IDE and compile it. Tell me the result.

I think " " are the first.And syntax highlight is second one.Am i right?

[SaswatPadhi]

Yeah, you are right !

" " should enclose strings and not “ ”.

Welcome to G4EF, xzibit2313.

[xzibit2313]

#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
	printf("\n2+2= %d”, 2+2");
	return 0;
}

now what is wrong with that code i am trying to add 2+2 and display it

[SaswatPadhi]

LOL, I think you are confused with printf syntax.

Try this :

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
      printf("\n2+2 = %d", 2+2);
      return 0;
}

Oh I see all I had to do was remove that last quote .
Thx a bunch I'm sure I'll have many more questions tomarrow

Are their any good c tutorials on here

[SaswatPadhi]
