    This must be switch (c) without the ; I also believe that it must actually be switch (*c)

      I am trying to write a program as a math tutor. Can someone look at this code. I keep getting errors on int and pointer as well as telling me the switch case has illegal pointer. Thanks, any advice would be greatful.

      #include #include #define SENT 4 //"Quit" menu choice

      /* Function Prototypes */

      void DisplayMenu (void);
      void GetMenuChoice (void);
      void Gen2Rand (int\*r1, int\*r2);
      void DrillOneProb (int\*c, int\*r1, int\*r2);
      

      /*============Mainline Procedures===============*/

      int main (void)
      {
      int c; //Menu Choice (1-4)
      int r1, //First Random Integer: 2-12 inclusive
      r2; //Second Randon Integer: 2-12 inclusive

      }

      /*===========CHILD FUNCTIONS===============*/

      /* Display Title and Menu */

      void DisplayMenu (void)

      {
      	printf("MENU OF OPERATIONS\\n\\n");
      	printf("1. Addition.\\n");
      	printf("2. Subtraction.\\n");
      	printf("3. Multiplication.\\n");
      	printf("4. Quit.\\n\\n");
      
      }
      

      /* Get Menu Choice */

      void GetMenuChoice (void)

      {
      	int c;
      	printf ("Enter the number of the operation to try (1-4):\\n");
      	scanf ("%d", &c);

          While following the flow, you shouldn't forget there is also the syntax... :rolleyes:

              The above steps, however just fix compiler errors...I don't know if the semantic will be correct. BTW what about a good C language programming book? :)

                    I do not believe that has been in any of the chapters that we have read so far, but I will look again at the latest chapter because each assignment is associated with that chapter.
