C first Script Question
Gents for 2013 I have embarked on learning C and just wrote my first script and need some help. In the learning process, I am trying to understand where I went wrong with my script. The flow of the script is as such:

Enter a number --> check if it is a number --> if it is not a number,print what it is --> finally if it not a number or a character, tell you that you are an "Idjit"

My script:

Code:
/*my first c script */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int num;

printf("Idjit enter a number:");
scanf("%d", &num);
while(num = "%d" && num > 0)
    {
    printf(" Your not an idjit. This is the number you entered %d\n",num);
    return(0);
    }
    if(num != "%d" && num = "%c")
    {
    printf("Idjit this a letter not a number %c\n",num);
    return(1);
    }
    else
    {
    printf("Give up. You are a true Idjit");
    return(1);
}

cli@user~/Documents/scripts/c-prog# gcc -o number number.c 
number.c: In function ‘main':
number.c:16:12: warning: comparison between pointer and integer [enabled by default]
number.c:16:27: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
number.c:25:1: error: expected declaration or statement at end of input

NAME

       tcrmttest - test cases of the remote database API

DESCRIPTION

       The command `tcrmttest' is a utility for facility test under multi-thread situation.  This command is used in the following format.  `host'
       specifies the host name of the server.  `rnum' specifies the number of iterations.

	      tcrmttest write [-port num] [-tnum num] [-nr] [-rnd] [-ext name] host rnum
		     Store records with keys of 8 bytes.  They change as `00000001', `00000002'...
	      tcrmttest read [-port num] [-tnum num] [-mul num] host
		     Retrieve all records of the database above.
	      tcrmttest remove [-port num] [-tnum num] host
		     Remove all records of the database above.

       Options feature the following.

	      -port num : specify the port number.
	      -tnum num : specify the number of running threads.
	      -nr : use the function `tcrdbputnr' instead of `tcrdbput'.
	      -rnd : select keys at random.
	      -ext name : call a script language extension function.
	      -mul num : specify the number of records for the mget command.

       If the port number is not more than 0, UNIX domain socket is used and the path of the socket file is specified by the host parameter.  This
       command returns 0 on success, another on failure.
