Dev-c++ compile errors object

#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(void){
int n1,k1;
int tot;
    scanf("%d",k1);
    scanf("%d",n1);

    tot=((k1=1)?((n1(n1+1))/2):((n1(n1+1))/2)-((k1(k1+1))/2));
    return 0;
}

this code is wrong?

Compiling it with Dev c++, gives me the error "called object is not a function" refered at 

 tot=((k1=1)?((n1(n1+1))/2):((n1(n1+1))/2)-((k1(k1+1))/2));

First of all you should pass the pointers to variables to the scanf functions using & operator:

scanf("%d",&k1);
scanf("%d",&n1);

Secondly, you should correct mistakes in the syntax of your expression:

  • use == instead of = to check equality
  • explicitly use * operator if you want to perform the multiclication.

tot=((k1==1)?((n1*(n1+1))/2):((n1*(n1+1))/2)-((k1*(k1+1))/2));
