learning C

[phacemeltar]

hi all, i am having some trouble learning c. its for this class i am taking outside of school, and i want to do well. what i am having trouble with is figuring out how the syntax works.
is there anyone willing to help me learn some rudimentary principles? here is a link to the problem set. i am having trouble with the mario problem.

can someone please explain how to put the blank spaces in, and also how to make new lines?
