Again, it's a problem with the order of things... you must define ns
before using it. Put the 'int ns;' before the scanf.

The errors gcc gives you should really give you some idea of what's
wrong - in this case I imagine it said something like:

foo.c:10: 'ns' undeclared (first use this function)

which is fairly self-explanatory.

Also, when you post questions here about errors in programs, it would
be better if you actually posted the errors the compiler reports.
