In the following program, I have to print the largest integer using the
if statement. It works as it is using " else " but I was wondering why I
can't get it to work without the" else ".As I understand it, if I leave
out the else the program should skip " answer = int1 ".It doesn't , that
is why I had to add " else ".If you can help please email at

Thanks in advance
Brad.

#include <stdio.h>

void main(void)

{
int int1,int2,answer;

printf("Please enter 2 integers.\n");

scanf("%i %i",&int1 ,&int2);

     if (int1 > int2)
  answer = int1;
     else

     answer = int2;

     printf(" The larger integer is %i \n"),answer;


}



The error does not appear to be code-dependant, but the problem arises when
I enter the simple line:

a=(a|b)

I have tried this every which way and cannot get it to work.  I have tried
changing the code.  I have put the OR function in a macro.  I have changed
the keyboard from UK English to US English.  Nothing will get it past the
error.

Incidentally, I have since had the opportunity to enter the identical code
on the same machine as a Win32 console application under MSVC5.0 and it
works fine (at least with a UK English keyboard setting, I have not tried
the US setting).

As noted by Thomas Demmer, the problem appears to be one of recognising the
correct character from the keyboard, which is why I tried the US setting.

Any help would be appreciated.
