Hi peeps, am using codeblocks , as i cant figure out Netbeans, but cant get this to compile without errors and warnings (particularly around line 16 and the scanf which i know i analogus to printf etc and cant understand it cos i am new, and stupid i guess)
I was wondering if i am still viewing this from a pascal like angle and have just not got to grips with c syntax yet.


Thanks for reading this and i know this is super basic, but help on this will really help me to get going. thanks again
