assuming you are including stdio.h, it sounds like you have a slight syntax error (specifically the way you are trying to display the output is not quite correct. It should probably look something like this (I am assuming integer addition here)

printf("Sum of %d and %d is %d", a, b, (a+b));

my programme is like this
main( )
{
int a,b,c;
a=5;b=6;
c=a+b;
printf("%d",c);
}

ihad changed it and seen the programme but the same error it is sowing

You are probably not including the proper header file. Before you type main(), type the following line:

#include <stdio.h>

If you are compiling this as a C++ program, make sure you change the file name to .C so that you will compile this as a C program.

All standard functions are declared in header files provided along with your compiler. these declarations provide the necessary prototypes while compiling.
