please help me to correct/ build/ complete the program

[jyck91]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
main()
{
float num;
int i, temp, remainder, baseM, j;
printf("Enter a number:");
scanf("%f",&num );
printf("Enter the base that you want:");
scanf("%d",&j);
if (temp baseM){
temp = num;
remainder = temp % baseM;
temp = temp / baseM;
}
for ( i=num; i>=0; i++)
remainder[i] = remainder;
printf("%s",rem ainder[i]);
system("PAUSE") ;
}

****** this is a base conversion program(part 2)
I want to convert the base10 number to baseM( first in 2-9)
eg. 5(10)------>101(2)
eg. 10(10)-----22(4)
******the above program can not run and there are some mistake that i
can't find out
please help me to correct them

******Since i need to hand in it tomorrow , please help me as soon as
possible
thank you for your help

No fix. Just some observations.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
main()
{
float num;
int i, temp, remainder, baseM, j;
printf("Enter a number:");
scanf("%f",&num );

Why don't you get a program that works just for positive integeres first?
You can do the floating thing later.

printf("Enter the base that you want:");
scanf("%d",&j);
if (temp baseM){

temp has an unknown value, but you use it in a comparison. Why do that?

1) scanf is generally not a good idea for a beginner.
2) why are you trying to work with a float?
3) In addition you haven't flushed output, or finished your prompts
with newlines, so there's no guarantee they'll be seen.

printf("Enter the base that you want:");
scanf("%d",&j);
if (temp baseM){

neither temp nor baseM have been assigned values

temp = num;
remainder = temp % baseM;
temp = temp / baseM;
}
for ( i=num; i>=0; i++)
remainder[i] = remainder;

remainder is not an array

printf("%s",rem ainder[i]);
system("PAUSE") ;

}

We will not provide you with a complete solution, and there is so much
wrong with the code you've put up here that there's frankly little
chance of getting it into any useful state.

If you can't do the task set, you need to go back and talk to your
instructor.

this won't terminate if i starts off 0

remainder[i] = remainder;
printf("%s",rem ainder[i]);
system("PAUSE") ;

return 0;

what does "can not run" mean?

can't find out
please help me to correct them

******Since i need to hand in it tomorrow

perhaps you should have started sooner?

, please help me as soon as
possible
thank you for your help
