I want to get a positive integer from the user.

"I want" is not a question.

There's only about a couple dozen different ways to do that, depending on the application type you're writing and the context in which you're getting this input. Without a lot more detail about what you're doing, anything anyone replies with will be just guess work that will probably not work in your situation.

You could start from

#include int main()
{
int i;
for (;;)
{
printf("please enter a positive integer\n");
if ( scanf("%d", &i) == 1 && i > 0 ) break;
}
printf("you entered %d, a good one\n", i);
return 0;
}

and then find a better way...
