The above is perhaps a starter program. Still struck. Number is type int and so I am using %i in the scanf command.

This is the error message:

mario.c:6:29: error: format specifies type 'int *' but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,- 
Wformat]
scanf ("enter a number %i", number);
                   ~~   ^~~~~~

Be sure to use the correct format code (e.g., %i for integers, %f for floating-point values, 
%s for strings,
etc.) in your format string on line 6 of mario.c.
~/pset1/ $
