#include <stdio.h> int main() { int a,b; int sum; // sum=a+b; // a and b uninitialized here printf("Enter the value of a:"); scanf ("%d",&a); // you must pass pointer, not value printf("Enter the value of b:"); scanf ("%d",&b); // same here sum = a+b; // now a and b initialized printf("sum = %d",sum); // print sum value // scanf("%d ,&sum); // scanf is for getting value from user but sum is computed and already displayed to user return 0; } // few shorter method by avoiding sum temporary variable: int main() { int a,b; // int sum; // not needed printf("Enter the value of a:"); scanf("%d",&a); printf("Enter the value of b:"); scanf("%d",&b); // sum = a+b; // not needed printf("sum = %d",a+b); return 0; }

missing semicolon on line 7. you also did not scan for the two digits you will be adding. After the prompt to enter a number is printed, scanf() should be called to fill the int variable with the value entered.

So, as I may understand you want a program that takes two numbers as input and outputs their sum, am I right? In that case its basic structure should be: Input -> a Input -> b (sum = a+b) Output <- a+b (sum) While you did something really strange: sum = a+b (which are uninitialized, they carry nothing) Input -> sum Also be careful with the syntax, you missed a ; and a "
