对于我的程序，我在程序中收到错误'stray'\\'160'

Question

I am getting the error 'stray '\\160' in program ' for my program.

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {

    int x[500], n, my_numb, j, found;

    do {
        printf("Enter n < 10\n");
        scanf("%d",&n);
    } while ((n < 1) || (n > 10));
}

Unable to post entire program, but part of my program is as above.

Answer 1

Sounds like you found one of these . It's a non-breaking space. If you copied the code from a website, for instance, this would correspond to  . Unfortunately it's difficult to see it since it's a unicode whitespace. If you happen to be on a *nix system, try viewing the file with cat -vte .

Answer 2

Is it possible you have a stray control code in your source file? Are you using an editor that shows unprintable characters, or Unicode embedded in the file? I made a few changes to your program, and this compiles cleanly here. And runs without error. Also changed the logic in the while loop slightly so it matches what is being asked for.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   int x[500], n, my_numb, j, found;

   do {
      printf("Enter 0 < n < 10\n");
      scanf(" %d", &n);
   } while ((n < 1) || (n >= 10));
   return 0;
}

If you copy this into a new file on your own system, do you still see the error message? I suspect you have corrupted it, or accidentally embedded a control sequence of some sort in your original program.
