Compiling issues in Windows Vista with Turbo C

[AdrianH]

inspite of including # include <stdio.h>iam getting an error statement function should return a value.

please see this.
thanks for ur help.

What function?

I would suggest if you get an error message, post it. It will make diagnosing your problems a lot easier.

The code you posted is pretty sloppy. I’m surprised that a compiler would accept it. Things wrong:

1. main() returns an int. You should specify this even if the C standard says you don’t need to.
2. Your indenting was unreadable.
3. You mistyped an end parenthesis with a 0. This could not be the code you were using.
4. if bodies and else bodies should have braces ({}) around them, otherwise you are just wishing for a problem to happen.
5. per is not initialised before use
6. getch() is not part of stdio.h, use scanf(“%*[^\n]”) to wait for a enter key to be pressed instead.
7. Not all execution paths return a value
8. You didn’t add anything (that was your original question, right?).

So what do you want to do from here?

hey dude the first thingy u got to do is use
printf ("enter the value of a \n");
and not
printf ("enter the value of a \n",a);

next give main declaration as
void main(void)

and then remove ur return statement.

the correct code is
void main ( )
{
int a, b, c;
printf("enter a number a \n");
scanf("%d",&a);
printf("enter a number b \n");
scanf("%d",&b);
printf("enter a number c \n");
scanf("%d",&c);
}
