Did you save it or did it automatically save after entering the 3 lines? [And next time, try to put your code between code tags ([code][/code]).]

I ran your program through my gcc compiler, i did not get any errors. so whats the problem? :cheesy:

Hello,

I used the pico editor to cut your text, and paste them into my RedHat 9 box. Then closed the editor, and it compiled just fine.

Maybe you are using vi and left something in there. Or Emacs left something. I dunno. Try cat division.c and see if you see any junk in the file.

I do think, however, it is poor program design on two occasions:

* You are using an integer for the division. per = (M+M+M) / 5 What happens if I enter in decimal numbers?

* You are asking for input on one line. Will the computer accept typo corrections? I would input them one line at a time, so that if I do typo, I can correct it without deleting too much. You also do not check to make sure I enter in 5 values. What happens if I only put in four?

(I have tested these conditions. You should too).

Enjoy!

indeed :mrgreen:

I realize that this thread is 2 years old, but it is the top search result for this error message, so maybe I will help a fellow newb.

If you are using the dev c++ enviroment,as I am, and probably other enviroments. The Error is caused by not hitting enter after the last line of code.

Somewhere in the C compiler details it states that the code has to finish with a newline. Dev-Cpp's GNU compiler and some other compilers give a warning, not an error. Many IDEs put the new line in automatically.

Couldn't help but notice that unless there is some bug in daniweb.com this is most read thread I've seen so far.. ! 17,751 times..

you need to report that to Dani

I donno where/how to tell her.. You're the moderator.. I understand you guys have some forums by yourselves..
