You're supposed to guess a number between 1 - 100, and if the user's guess is too big, it says so and vice versa. Once the user has guessed the correct number, it displays that he got it, and tells him/her how many tries it took to get it...
Please look at the below code, and tell me why it won't compile in Visual C++!!

printf("\nToo big!\n");

// the user must have guessed the number
printf("\nYou guessed the number in %d tries!!!\n",num_tries);
