------------------ COMMON MISTAKES WHEN PROGRAMMING IN C -------------------

(1) Failure to end line with semicolon

(2) Forget to declare variable

(3) Forget to put & in front of input variables
    Example:  scanf("%f %f",x,y);

(4) Forget to put \n into printf statement
    Example:  printf("The answer is %d",x);

(5) Use of , rather than ; in for loop statement
    Example:  for (i=0, i<10, i++);

(6) Use of = instead of == in if statement
    Example:  if (x = 0) y = 1;

(7) Forget to include math library (or forget -lm for Sun compiler)

(8) Mismatched curly brackets, { and }

(9) Mismatched comment indicators
    Example:  /* test program /*   or  /* test program *\

(10) Mismatch between format and variable list

(11) Naming your program test.c (or other UNIX command)

(12) Use of parentheses rather than square brackets for arrays
     Example:  int x(10);
