The importance of showing ALL of the code in C

Two more common mistakes: (that means ones that I do frequently)

  N = 2;
  X = 3;
. . .
  if (x > 10);
  {
        return(N);
  }
  N = 7;
  return(N);

and:

  N = 2;
  X = 3;
. . .
  if (x = 10)
  {
        return(N);
  }
  N = 7;
  return(N);

Look for why both sections return 2 instead of 7.
