Have to use int *ptr instead of int. #139378
Description
I was compiling the program if-else program, it got generate an error. The solution was to create an pointer "int *ptr", anybody got similar issue ?
~/ $ cat if-else-err.c
/* C if-else example without pointers*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int num1, num2;
printf("Enter the 1st number: ");
scanf("%d",&num1);
printf("Enter the 2nd number: ");
scanf("%d",&num2);
if (num1 > num2 ) {
printf("%d is biggest\n",&num1);
num2 = num1;
} else {
printf("%d is biggest\n",&num2);
num1 = num2;
}
return 0;
}
