Hi! I'm new in turbo C... and I'm trying to make a Program to calculate the product of two numbers.
please help me! I'm using Turbo C v3.0

problem:
when I hit enter for the answer it doesn't give the product, the program closed.... :(

#include<stdio.h> 
                                                            
int a, b, c;                                                                 
int product (int x, int y);                                                   
                                                                            
main()                                                                        
{                                                                            
//input first number                                                          
printf("enter a number between 1 and 100: ");                               
scanf("%d", &a);                                                                                                              
                   
//input second number                                                         
printf("enter another number between 1 and 100: ");                           
scanf("%d", &b);                                                              
                                                                             
c = product(a, b);                                                            
                                                                            
printf ("%d times %d = %d\n", a, b, c);                                   
                                                                             
return 0;
}                                                        
                     
int product( int x, int y)                                                   
                                                                              
{                                                                             
return (x * y);                                                               
}

Your pogram is working. However, after your answer displays, the program races on to finish main() and stop before your eyes blink.

You need to add a phony data entry statement at the end of main() to stop the program until you press enter. This will allow you to read the answer.

what is a phony data entry statement?

[weaknessforcats]

Just do a scanf at the end of main to stop the program for you to enter data. That will allow you time to see your result. Then press enter to complete the program execution.
