see if you can help me with this code thanks!

---------- Post updated at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:38 PM ----------

how do I use input in code? do I use "scanf"? and then put the assigned integer variagle next to one like this scanf(number) or scanf"number"? please help!

See man scanf for details on scanf.

In general though, scanf should be avoided, since it has problems dealing with rejected input. It can easily work once and fail 5 times afterwards because the first character it reads is \n instead of a digit.

For this reason I suggest the slightly more complicated sscanf, so you can read an entire line then scan it:

Code:
char buf[512];

...

fgets(buf, 512, stdin);
sscanf(buf, "%d", &number);

ok thanks now I have more errors with return that I want them to work.

I need the values to be found or not to be found in arrays.

what kind of return statement should I use I still have problem with the returned???

You cannot make a variable named 'return' because 'return' is a reserved word.

Half the time you're using 'if(return == something)' you haven't even tried to declare a variable of that name anyway.

Code:
scanf("%d", value);

should be
Code:
scanf("%d", &value);

Again, I encourage you to read man scanf
