Question

This is one of the conditions in my program:

if(Debug)fprintf(stdout,"Direction dir %d quot %d rem %0.2f %s\n",direction,quotient, remain, cardinal[quotient]);

I have defined everything and have used stdlib.h but it keeps returning

expected expression before ')' token

I use minGW compiler in ECLIPSE. Compiled as follows: gcc -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -o wind_direction.o "..\\wind_direction.c"

Answer 1

probably you have:

#define Debug   

With is good for conditional compilation:

#ifdef Debug
...
#endif

But the if need an expression inside the (). Use, for example:

#define Debug 1

if you want to print, and 0 if you dont want. (but now use #if Debug for conditional compilation)
