[Guest_imported]

Hello i am a new user to the c language also programming i have come across a problem whilst compiling my programme it is coming up with syntax error '}' ??? i dont know why either this is my source code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

void main()

{
char deg,

float temp,
kelvin;



deg = toupper(getch());
do

{
printf(&quot;\nPlease enter the Degrees you want to use > &quot;
scanf(&quot;%c&quot;,°);

switch (deg)
{
case 'C': printf(&quot;\nPlease enter the tempeture to convert to kelvin > &quot;
scanf(&quot;%f&quot;,&temp);

kelvin = temp + 273;

while (kelvin <= 0);
{
printf(&quot;Invalid&quot;
}
printf(&quot;the results is %f&quot;,kelvin);
}
}
}
i thank you in advance.

i know the scanf(&quot;%c&quot;,°); function isnt correct after pasting it on here but it should read

scanf(&quot;%c&quot;,&deg);

your stmt

char deg,

has a comma at the end, not a semi-colon...

the syntax fo do while is:
do
{
}while(SomeThing...);
you forgot both, while and ; John Fill

This was munged:

scanf(&quot;%c&quot;,&\deg); /* Ignore the backslash */

> switch (deg)
> {
> case 'C': printf(&quot;\nPlease enter the tempeture to convert to kelvin > &quot;

fflush(stdout);

while (kelvin<=0)

> {
> printf(&quot;Invalid&quot;
> }

Wow, you aren't very forgiving of your users are you? This loops forever if they enter an &quot;Invalid&quot; number.

> printf(&quot;the results is %f&quot;,kelvin);

printf(&quot;the results is %f\n&quot;,kelvin);

> }

This brace should be followed by a while(/*something*/);
