This can happens if you copy and past the source from a pdf file or some other non ASCII file structure .

please let me know if this is your case .

hai,
ur assumption is correct, i copy and paste the code from a pdf file..... Is it make any problem?? How can i overcome this???

In order to compile the code with gcc the source has to be ASCII , so when you copy past it doesn't convert them correctly to ASCII , the best way it's to write the code also like that you'll have a look and memorize the syntax while writing . this can be done also with a pdf editor have a look to PDFedit .
