Free of errors: just make sure your returns are proper. Usually you can fix those by backing the line up to the previous one then hitting the enter key..

could you convert it to c

Yes, but the question is "can -you- convert it to C?" ;)

Please don't post into old threads. The corrected code was posted well over a year ago. Instead, start a new thread, including your specific questions and your own code. You can provide a link to the old thread if that will help readers answer your question.

Also, DaniWeb is not a "do it for you" environment. We're here to help you become a better programmer, but you have to do the work. There's a C forum here, if that's the most appropriate place for your questions....
