42,016 Pointsyou dont need to include the main function at all so remove your opening and closing curly braces at the beginning and end. you also dont need to return anything so remove the return 0 statement. the syntax for your printf statement is not correct. a print f statement looks like this:
printf("this is a variable: %f", myFloat);
the value of myFloat is inserted into the string where the format specifier (%f in this case) is. The string of your print f is also incorrect. the task states that the string outputted needs to be "A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches.". your current string is "the radius is 14.5" which is not the string its asking for
