Question

The following program has some syntax errors. Enumerate the errors then rewrite, compile and run the program after correction.

#include <stdio.h>

int Main( );

{

float w ;

float wk ;

printf ("Enter your weight in pounds ");

scanf["%d" weight];   

wk=w x 0.45359237 ;

printf('Your weight in kilograms is %d',wk);

}

Answer 1

Errors are as follows:

1.int Main( ) (should be main() )
2.scanf["%d" weight];   (weight is not defined. Most probably it should be w. Also '[' and ']' are not ok. ',' is missing. & should have been used, %f is more appropriate)
3.wk=w x 0.45359237 ; ( x should have been replaced by *)
4.printf('Your weight in kilograms is %d',wk); ( %f would have been more appropriate)

Following is the correct program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
float w;
float wk;
printf ("Enter your weight in pounds ");
scanf("%f", &w);
wk = w * 0.45359237;
printf("Your weight in kilograms is %f",wk);
}
