You have an error in your printf line. You are closing it with a } instead of a ')'.

Here is the correct syntax:

printf("%f is the radius.\n", the_radius);

{
    float the_radius=14.5;
    printf("%f is the radius.\n",the_radius};
    return 0;

still getting error with tis task

"Add a printf statement to print the radius variable. Here is what your output should look like: A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches."

this is the error Make sure you have the correct format options. (%f is used for floats) here is my code

int main()
{
    float radius = 14.5;
    printf("A ball with a radius of %f inches.\n",radius);
    return 0;
}

I see you're adding a \n to the end of the string. printf already inserts a newline so this would print out 2 newlines. Try removing the \n.
