Why does the compiler issue “warning: assignment m

Question

I don't understand why I keep getting an error when I try to compile it. I get an error saying

fractions.c: In function "main":

Answer 1

This here is a string literal (ISO C99 6.4.5):

"+"

You want a character constant (ISO C99 6.4.4.4):

'+'
