error: stray '\357' in program

[myoni]

why I'm getting these errors ?


prog.c:1: error: stray '\357' in program

Because you cut and paste from the internet, and in doing so included bad characters.

[myoni]

so, what is the way to send code in the internet ?

There is a way to clean it now ?

[Peter87]

Just erase and retype the characters on the line where you get the error until it works.

[Moschops]

You could probably just copy the code back from above; so long as you paste it as plain text, it should be fine.

Also, my good sir, I am partial to celebrating Halloween by inviting friends to my house in silly costumes and drinking punch that mostly consists of Ouzo and red food colouring.

In your crazy, crazy world, such a day can't exist and that just won't do. Especially when you're happy to allow February 30th to slide.

No, sir, this world is not for me. Good day to you.

[myoni]

I tried erase and retype and copy paste, but the errors still exists

[NerdTastic]

Copy and paste first if you must, then double click the error to find the offending line. Delete that line. Retype that line. Be amazed.

Not for me, but I'm copying and pasting it as plain text. There's no way for us to tell you which line is bad, because we don't have that problem, because we copy and paste as plain text. As people have said; find the bad line, delete it, type it in again, don't copy crazy html and expect it to work as plain text.

There's no way for us to tell you which line is bad

prog.c:1: error: stray '\277' in program
prog.c:1: error: stray '#' in program
prog.c:1: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '<' token

I'm thinking the preprocessor ignored the #include <iostream> because of the junk before it.
