j is not initialized. Who knows what's in there.

j - = 0;
printf("%d",y);

return 0;

}

I wouldn't expect that to compile with a space between the two operators.

It makes no sense to do arithmetic on an unknown value.

printf("%d",y);

Where is y declared?

Are you sure you're using cut and paste?

What's wrong with the answer? Anything is legal when the behaviour
is undefined.

That code doesn't even compile, and it's almost certainly *not* the
code that you actually tried. Are you expecting us to guess what your
real program looks like?

Copy and paste the *exact* code that you actually compiled.

main() returns int, not void. Change "void main()" to "int main(void)".

"j - = 0;" is a syntax error. I won't try to guess what you actually
meant.

You try to print the value of y, but you never declared it.

Since you use printf() you need to add "#include <stdio.h>" to the top
of your program.

Since main returns an int, you should return an int: add "return 0;"
after the printf call. (This isn't always required, but it's always a
good idea.)
