Am new to C Programming kindly help with this.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
int a;
int b;
scanf("%d", &a);
scanf("%d", &b);
printf(" %d + %d=%d",a,b,a+b);
getchar();
return 0;
}

i want to add the value for a and b together but after i input the integer instead of displayng the result it close the prompt, what might be wrong please help.

Guy,how far.i used lcc-win32 compiler, I have run your source code,it is error-free and gave output.it could be compiler error, try use fflush(stdin) after each scanf().hope it work in ur compiler.Let chat up.my phone number is 08067438374.

thanks bro i got it, do you reside in Abuja? what is the function of fflush(stdin)

Guy,nothing do you,you correct kampe.i live in benin.fflush is to clear the buffer so as to avoid misappropriation of data.the parameter(stdin) passed into the fflush function is to clear the stdin(keyboard)file before subsequent read.am a NID Student in NIIT.do you know software website where i can download free C# compiler.hala back

check microsoft msdn site, i download the one am using from there.

Ive seen where ur mistake lies,gimmie a few minutes i will get u d correct source code.but 4 now i wan go pound yam 4 mumsi see ya.

Ok cruworld i've attached the source code 4 u in d attachment below.hope it works 4 u.hapi coding. But ehm remenber to change the extension name of the attachment to '.txt' ooo

the fflush(stdin) is a good idea  bt u cud also try this
after the #include<stdio.h>
add #include<iostream> or #include<iostream.h> if ur usin turbo
then at the very end of ur prog i.e after the getchar() line
add the code system("pause";
this shld also wrk out prfctly. i use visual stdio 2008.

I think you should remove the getchar() function.

u don need the getchar() here

I originally designed the first, Introductory course around The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie, and the notes were designed to complement that text, highlighting important points and explaining subtleties which might be lost on the general reader.

Thats just what is missing. . .

system("PAUSE";

although the program is working,
you need the code above to 'pause' the output on the screen so you can see it
Get yourself a better compiler (code::blocks)

thanks Guys, am using Dev C++ compiler

C is a general-purpose computer programming language for use with the Unix operating system.C is one of the most popular programming languages.It is widely used on many different software platforms and there are few computer architectures for which a C compiler does not exist.
