#include <stdio.h>
#define cv_factor = 36 * 36; /*conversion:sq in per yard*/

int main(void)

{
int length, width, sum; /*Variable decleration*/

printf("Input length and width of Lawn in yards,\n"); /*Request length and width of lawn in yards*/
sum = (length * width)/cv_factor; /*Multiply Length by width and divide by 12 for yardage*/
scanf("%d%d", &length, &width); /*Accept Length and width assign to memory slots a and b respectively*/
printf("%s%d%s\n","The square yardage of your lawn is", "sum", "bye\n"); /*Display answer*/

}

For some reason i'm getting a c2059 syntax error. it's something to do with the equal sign. i've worked this down as far as i could but still don't understand whats wrong with the equal sign. one thing i'm not to sure about is how i've got the "cv_factor" setup, meaning is it inserted into the code correctly?

Why do you have the calculator before the input?

PHP Code:


			
 #include    <stdio.h>
  #define cv_factor = 36 * 36; /*conversion:sq in per yard*/
  
  int main(void)
  
  {
      int    length, width, sum; /*Variable decleration*/
  
      printf("Input length and width of Lawn in yards,\n"); /*Request length and width of lawn in yards*/
      sum = (length * width)/cv_factor; /*Multiply Length by width and divide by 12 for yardage*/
      scanf("%d%d", &length, &width); /*Accept Length and width assign to memory slots a and b respectively*/
      printf("%s%d%s\n","The square yardage of your lawn is", "sum", "bye\n"); /*Display answer*/
  
  }

First things first, clean that **** up dude. I am short a compiler atm, so one my corrections may be a bit off.

PHP Code:


			
  #include    <stdio.h>
 // remove pre-processor, make it const#define cv_factor = 36 * 36;
 //conversion:sq in per yard
   
   int main(void)
   
   {
       int    length, width, sum; //Variable decleration
   const int cvFactor = 1296;
       printf("Input length and width of Lawn in yards,\n"); //Request length and width of lawn in yards
       scanf("%d%d", &length, &width); //Accept Length and width assign to memory slots a and b respectively
 sum = (length * width)/cvFactor; //Multiply Length by width and divide by 12 for yardage
       printf("%s%d%s\n","The square yardage of your lawn is", "sum", "bye\n"); //Display answer
   
   }

Clean that **** up dude, if you must use preprocessor just define it as 1296 not as 36*36. sum needs to be AFTER scanf, otherwise it is trying to multiply two unref variables.

check the attitude, i'm just starting with this stuff so easy. the reason i used 36 * 36 is because that is what my textbook gave me. the reason they gave that instead of 1296 is because most people will equate 36 times 2 to a square yard more so than 1296.

i moved the "sum =" line and it still didn't compile right and i'm getting the same error. any other ideas guys?
