Is this code suppose to work, or is it for learning?

What's line 15?

it seems to me that, for some reason, your comments aren't, well, commenting

try to remove the comments then compile

I don't know. Hold on, I'll post the code from the book that Dan recommended (C Primer Plus).

code:

int main()          // C99 rules { // some statements     int doors;     doors = 5;      // first use of doors // more statements     int dogs;     dogs = 3;       // first use of dogs     // other statements }

dogs = 3; first use of dogs

Right here you have a comment without it being set as one. You need // or /* */ around it else the compiler sees "first use of dogs" as a line of code, which of course does not work.

c:

dogs = 3;  //first use of dogs

The comments are inaccurate (even if they came from the book)--comments changed below.

c:

// function definition int main(void) // function prototype for main() suitable for hosted environment:  no implicit int allowed in C99 { // a declaratation int doors; // a statement doors = 5; // first use of doors // another declaration int dogs; // another statement dogs = 3; // first use of dogs }

Thanks for just giving php11 the answer.

I got it. It worked. Thank you. The // is what I needed.
