In a c program, you are not allowed to declare a variable in the middle of
a function. You only can do that in c++ code.
In c, you have to declare it in the beginning of the function.
So your code should be :
int main()
{
int k;
printf ...
...
k=4;
printf("k=%d\n",k);
}
I think it should work this way, and k won't be global.
