I am having trouble getting my code to compile.

[jkh 324]

I cannot seem to get my program to compile correctly.
The error codes I am receiving are:
"ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code"(lines 31,33,35
and also:
"Invalid operands to binary %"(lines 33,35)

the following lines are
30. [*gallons=usercups/GAL;]
31. [float remgal=usercups%GAL;]
32. [*quarts=remgal/QRT;]
33. [float remquart=quarts%QRT;]
34. [*pints=remquart/PNT;]
35. [float rempint=pints%PNT;]
36. [*cups=rempint;]

GAL, QRT, and PNT are defined before any function is started.

Please help me understand what I am doing wrong.

Update:
I figured out the mixed declarations and code thing. I listed all declarations at the beginning and have the calculations belowand eliminated that error. However, I am still receiving the "Invalid operands to binary %" error. I do not really understand this error.
Thank you

The % operator is only defined for integers. That is something like
int a=10;
int b=7;
int c=a%b;

is O.K. but that would fail if a and b were doubles or floats.
So pints, quarts, PNT and QRT should be declared as ints, or else you should cast them as such.

I am still having problems. I am still getting the error code "Invalid operands to binary %"

I thought that I had everything declared correctly.

The following is the section of code that is giving me problems:

24.void liquid(int cups1, int *gal1, int *quart2, int *pints3, int *cups4)
25.
26. {
27. int remgal=cups1%GAL;
28. int remquart=quart2%QRT;
29. int rempint=pints3%PNT;
30.
31. *gal1=cups1/GAL;
32. *quart2=remgal/QRT;
33. *pints3=remquart/PNT;
34. *cups4=rempint;
35. }

My compiler is giving that error for lines 28 and 29 but not for line 27 so I am confused.
GAL is defined as 16
QRT is defined as 4
PNT is defined as 2

Wouldn't defining them be just as good as declaring them as ints?

28. int remquart=quart2%QRT;
29. int rempint=pints3%PNT;

quart2 and pints3 are int*. The % operator does not work with pointers. It works for integer types only.
