这个是教学书里的，比对了，没发现输入错误，但是我执行的时候就提示出错
图片是错误信息，麻烦老师指出

#include <stdio.h>

    scanf("%Ld", &feet);
    Lofty_to_tree = feet*inches_per_foot;变量名首字母小写上下一致！

    // Calculate the height of the tree in inches  //在英寸计算树的高度
    tree_height = shorty+(shorty_to_lofty + lofty_to_tree)*(lofty-shorty)/
                                                              shorty_to_lofty;

不知道你代码功能。。。。但是~唉，路还长！

非常感谢订正错误，我太粗心了。我将上面两处错误修改以后，第32行好想还有问题

第三十行 scanf("%ld",&feet)；
的分号是中文符号

非常感谢，已经可以了。哈哈，我都快睡不着觉了。刚开始学习

我还能说什么
