Program does not compile with miscellaneous errors

Question

What’s wrong here? I can’t see the error.

#include <stdio.h>

void Main(void)
{
    int a = 9;
    int b = 3;
    int c = 0;

    int *p = &b;
    c = a/*p;

    printf("%d \n", c);


}

Answer 1

There are three mistakes:

• The main function should call main and not Main.
• This function must return a int and not void. Some compilers accept this form but this does not mean it is correct to use in standard C.
• the use of /* is a start of comment. You need to ensure that there is no ambiguity using parentheses.

Correct code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    int a = 9;
    int b = 3;
    int *p = &b;
    int c = a / (*p);
    printf("%d \n", c);
}

Behold working in the ideone. And in the repl it.. Also put on the Github for future reference.
