OK, latest is, it's giving me that warning I posted a couple minutes ago and when I see where that warning points to, it's this line here.
overtimepay = 0.5 * overtime;Now, if I take out the 0. in 0.5, and leave it as just 5, the warning goes away. Of course that will make the program not do what I want, but can some one give me ideas to fix that, or a reason that might help? It's that close and even with that warning, it actually does work so I'd have no problem leaving it there but based on what the teacher got me for last week, a warning probably means an F or close to it. Besides, it's that close, so very very close.

John, yeah, that's the kind of error u go back to when your head's
clear & go "dugh!" Lol! I *hate* it when that happens! Send the
code & I'll see if I can figure it out. U might also wanna use text
pal or something similar, which shows u where matching braces are.
1 thing I like 2 do when I'm coding is to comment the braces, as per
the following:
main()
{/*begins main*/
int i;
unsigned int number;
for (i=0; i < 5; i++)
{/*begins for loop*/
scanf("%d",&number);
if number <= 9)
printf("single digit territory."
elif number > 9 && number < 100)
printf("double digits");
else
printf("now that's a big number");
}/*ends for loop*/
}/*ends main*/
BTW, I always put my ending brace & comments there immediately after
my beginning brace, then go up a line, press enter, & write the code.
That way the brace is filled in & u don't forget about it. It took me
a lot of years of writing code 2 figure that 1 out & it's saved me a
*bunch* of time trying 2 backtrack & figure out where I missed a
brace, or, if the program isn't behaving like I want, 2 c the logic of
where I've gone wrong w/an errant brace, which, though it may match,
is in fact in the wrong place 2 do what the program was supposed 2 do.
HTH.

OK, I thought of that just before getting this email and did that, lookslike the only error left is a fatal one about a brace before the end of the file or something, I'm guessing I have the bracing wrong but I don't see it, looks like for every opening brace I have a closing one but I'm closer and Ilike this way better actually if I can get rid of this error. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 5:31 PM Subject: Re: More C programming help John: At the top of every function, you've gotta have a section like: int clock; float wage; float hours; float overtime; float overtimepay. That is a variable declaration. U failed 2 declare those variables u just added to your program.
