Programming

I want to print 4052 slashes using this C program.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<4052; i++)
printf ("/");

}

When i compile this via gcc am getting this error :


Can anyone point out what am doing wrong?

Try:-

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
        int i;
        for (i=0; i<4052; i++)
        {
                printf ("/");
        }
}

It worked man thanks a lot!! can you tell me whats the difference between my program and yours? I tried to put curly braces earlier but didn't work :/

I don't see any.

In fact, your program works.

Did you post it completely as-is or clean it up?

My program was correct but didn't work for some strange reasons. After I cleaned it up (added tabs and braces) it worked perfectly.
thank you for reply mate

Very odd. I copy-pasted it and it just worked here. Oh well!

I don't believe that the program in post #1 generated the warning in the screenshot. Note that the warning uses the word "parameter", which is a strong clue. I'll wager that the program that actually generated that message defined main() using pre-ANSI syntax, which is what happens if int i; is moved up a line, so that it resides outside the braces.

Code:

void main()
int i;
{
    ...
}
