Error in turbo C program: "illegal use of floating point in function main"?
No one can help you if you don't post the source code and the exact error (with the line number).
Reply:Here's some sample code that will generate the "illegal use of floating point in function main" error in a specific environment...can you see the error?





int dollar, cents;





printf("Enter the amount of change you need: ");


scanf("%lf", %26amp;dollar);





... the coder has told scanf() to scan a float "%lf" into an integer address (%26amp;dollar).





You might look for a similar mismatch in your code. Like another poster stated, hard for us to tell if you don't show the code.
