Every answer in, still incorrect

I am new to TreeHouse, but I am really trying to figure this out. I have followed along and typed in ever possible answer I can think of. Yet it still says I am not correct. Why? // first answer

include <stdio.h>

int main() { float the_radius = 14.5; printf("%f radius.\n", the_radius); return 0; }

// second answer: float the_radius = 14.5; printf("%f radius.\n", the_radius); return 0;

ect.

What am I doing wrong?

You are providing more than what is required. All you need is float the_radius = 14.5;

edit: noticed your variable name was the_radius when it should be radius.

Get rid of the int main and its associated curly braces. The question said not to create the main function declaration.

The question says to name your variable radius. If you name your variable the_radius, your answer will fail.

Make sure your printf statement is printing exactly what the question asks for.

The quizzes check to make sure that you're doing exactly what they're asking for. One misspelled variable or an extra letter or a missing period in a print statement will cause your answer to fail.
