I've moved this to its own thread. Please post new threads for new problems to allow it to be addressed properly.

1. You have syntax errors in your code. I know this isn't in the rules, but normally you can show great courtesy by cleaning them up before posting the code. That's because we're unpaid volunteers, and it's nice for us not to have to do that for you when we want to experiment with your code by compiling it ourselves and modifying it as necessary.
   
   Of course, that doesn't apply if you have a question about why you got a syntax error.
2. In particular, you have declared two data items (of different types) called max_item. Any particular reason to call them both the same name? It won't work.
3. Don't use scanf(). I explain why here. Instead, use fgets() to read a line of input at a time, and use sscanf() to parse that line into your variables.
   
   Of course, at this point someone might show how C++ has even better ways to do the input, but that wasn't your question. :)
4. What's that getch() doing in there?
