[azusa]

Hello I am teaching myself C from a C for dummies book and its this program they gave us to write out. I copied correctly from the book but I am still getting errors I also double checked and nothing can someone check it out for me and tell me what I am missing.


#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
char adjective[20];
char food[20];
char chore[20];
char furniture[20];

/* Get the words to use in the madlib */

printf("Enter and adjective:"); /*prompt*/
scanf("%s",&adjective); /*input*/
printf("Enter a food:");
scanf("%s",&food);
printf("Enter a household chore(past tense);");
scanf("%s",&chore);
printf("Enter an item of furniture:");
scanf("%s",&furniture);

/*Display the output*/

printf("\n\nDon't touch that %s %s!\n",adjective,food);
printf("I just %s the %s!\n",chore,funiture);

return(0);
}



thanks in advanced

Looks fine to me, what errors do you get?
Possibly use [code] Tags next time aswell.

Code: Select all

printf("I just %s the %s!\n",chore,funiture);

Furniture was spelled incorrectly....

Code: Select all

printf("I just %s the %s!\n",chore,furniture);

That will fix the program.

In addition, you might want to add a

Code: Select all

getchar();

at the end of your program because I didn't see my mad lib when I ran it.

Cool program though.
