Unary.c

printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);

This is supposed to be ok, but it gives me this compiler error=

Parse error before string constant.
conflicting types for built-in function 'printf'
/* unary.c*/
/* Demonstrate unary operator prefix and postfix modes */

#include <stdio.h>

int a, b;

main(0
{
/* set a and b both equal to 5 */

a = b = 5;

/* Print them, decrementing each time. /*
/* Use prefix mode for b, postfix mode for a */

printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);

return 0;

}

This code works fine for me except for the typo "main(0" which I assume should be "main()". Are you sure you had the #include <stdio.h> in your file when you tried to compile this? The compiler error looks like what you would get if you forgot to include the standard IO library.

Thankyou
Yes typo error.
Yes I use #include.
Coulod it be the compiler?

#include <stdio.h>

int a, b;

main(0
{

a = b = 5;

/* Print them, decrementing each time. /*

printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);

return 0;

}

the code works fine for me too,except main(0)...could be a typo ? :-)

nt a, b;

main()
{
/* set a and b both equal to 5 */

a = b = 5;

/* Print them, decrementing each time. /*
/* Use prefix mode for b, postfix mode for a */

printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);
printf("\n%d %d", a--, --b);

return 0;

}
this code worked perfectly for me if we cahnge the main(0) to main() then it works all right
