help on relational operators

[warrior85]

hello,

I am new to this group.

I am doing self study using a book "C by example" by Mr.Greg
Perry.Currently am in the end of chapter 9 of the book which is about
relational operators.

I tried to compile a program which gives me errors. I tried to compile
it in different compilers but I get the same error.I tried to debug on
my own but my effort failed.Also I checked about the error to see
whether it has been posted elsewhere but couldnt find it anywhere and
hence decided to post it here.

I use CodeBlocks IDE which uses GCC compiler . I also tried it in
Bloodshed Dev C++.

The build log is ,
-------------- Build: Debug in c811 ---------------

Compiling: c811.c
D:\c programs\c811\c811.c: In function `main':
D:\c programs\c811\c811.c:42: error: stray '\166' in program
D:\c programs\c811\c811.c:42: error: stray '\166' in program
D:\c programs\c811\c811.c:42: error: called object is not a function
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
3 errors, 0 warnings
I have uploaded the program as a text file and the link is ,

Kindly help.

regards.

As Ian wrote, the next time please post the code.

Anyway:

You are having a problem with the character '|' ("vertical line") which
has the code 0x7C.

Your program uses a similar character with the code 0xA6. Your compiler
doesn't recognize a "similar" character.

What language is your keyboard made for?

What keys did you use to enter this character?

Thank you so much for the explanation .Now there is more clarity in my
understanding.

Yes ,from next time i ll post the code. First I thought pasting the
code here will be very lengthy and thought it would frustrate the
reader.So thats why I put it as a seperate text file.

What language is your keyboard made for?

My keyboard is german.

What keys did you use to enter this character?

I did not type the program. It was an example program in chapter 9
from the book that am reading. I also have that e-book.So i copied the
program and tried to run it....

Regards.

this doesn't lead to your program but to site
that appears to be trying to sell me some
sort of web hosting (I think).

Consider notifying the publisher of the error.
