A little C help for my friend

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

He's getting a "multiple declaration for 'printf'" error for this code block, personally i cant see it

 switch (code)
     {
      	case '1':

          printf:("Very good!!");

          break;

         case '2':

          printf:("Keep it up!!");

          break;

         case '3':

          printf:("Nice job!!");

          break;

          case '4':

          printf:("Excellent");

          break;
     
     }

the erro comes up for the last 3 printf's

I'm pretty rusty on my C code, but maybe he could try something like this...

string CaseReturn;

switch (code)
{
    case '1' :
        CaseReturn = "Very Good!!";
        break;
    case '2' :
        CaseReturn = "Keep it up!!";
        break;
}

printf:(CaseReturn);

Sorry, it's been ages since I've used regular C code.

printf:("Keep it up!!");

What's with the : after the function name and before the parameters?

printf("Keep it up!!");

I didn't know either, but I wasn't sure if he was using some strange compiler that wanted different syntax or something.

ummm not printf:

just printf

switch ('0')
{
  case '1':
    printf("Very good!!");
    break;

I didn't know either, but I wasn't sure if he was using some strange compiler that wanted different syntax or something.

then it wouldn't be c anymore
