Why am I getting the stray '342' error in the C program?

Question

I am trying to compile a C file in the GNU/Linux operating system, but when I try to compile this code, the compiler gives me some errors.

My op.c file is this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

    int i;
    for (i=0; i < argc; i++){
        printf(“command line argument [%d] = %s \n”, i, argv[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}

When I try to compile this code, I am getting these errors. How can I fix them?

op.c: In function ‘main’:
op.c:6:3: error: stray ‘\342’ in program
   printf(“command line argument [%d] = %s \n”, i, argv[i]);
   ^
op.c:6:3: error: stray ‘\200’ in program
op.c:6:3: error: stray ‘\234’ in program
op.c:6:13: error: ‘command’ undeclared (first use in this function)
   printf(“command line argument [%d] = %s \n”, i, argv[i]);
             ^
op.c:6:13: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
op.c:6:21: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘line’
   printf(“command line argument [%d] = %s \n”, i, argv[i]);
                     ^
op.c:6:21: error: stray ‘\’ in program
op.c:6:21: error: stray ‘\342’ in program
op.c:6:21: error: stray ‘\200’ in program
op.c:6:21: error: stray ‘\235’ in program

Answer 1

Use correct the quotation mark for string representation in C.

printf("command line argument [%d] = %s \n", i, argv[i]);

Instead of

printf(“command line argument [%d] = %s \n”, i, argv[i]);
