Hello, OnlineGDB Q&A section lets you put your programming query to fellow community users. Asking a solution for whole assignment is strictly not allowed. You may ask for help where you are stuck. Try to add as much information as possible so that fellow users can know about your problem statement easily.

I cant figure these errors out and i've searched everywhere, I need help.

1.

sscanf doesn't work for me here on onlinegdb, so you might've had the same problem.

2.

Your while loop in main is pointless, also you have

if else()

{

}

instead of

else if()

{

3.

Your "else if"s have repeating cases for the same letters. What's more the entire construction could be done with a single switch and look more clear.

4.

Your removal function logic is wrong and I'm too lazy to write about why. Instead I will show you correct solution which you aimed to have, as well as the rest of revised and working code.
