What do you mean by "what is the error?"? Does your program compile without errors or warnings? If not then post the complete error messages exactly as they appear in your development environment. If it does compile, when you run it does it produce the desired output? If not explain exactly what is wrong with your program, ask specific questions.

the program say:" C:\Dev-Cpp\sem4.2.c In function `printLarger':
55 C:\Dev-Cpp\sem4.2.c syntax error before "else" "
help me Jim

Sorry Boss.
i get it right already.
closed the thread.
Sorry boss Jim.
I know what went wrong already.

Okay lets look at the function where the error was reported.

Look at the difference in formatting, first your code formatting:

void printLarger(int a[],int b[],int sumOfA,int sumOfB) {
     int i;
     
	if (sumOfA > sumOfB)
	    printf("array A is larger than array B");
     	for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
            printf("%d\t",a[i]);
		}
	else if (sumOfA < sumOfB)
		 printf {"array B is larger than array A");
       for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
			printf("%d \t",b[i]);
        }
}

Now the same code reformatted.

void printLarger(int a[],int b[],int sumOfA,int sumOfB) 
{
   int i;

   if (sumOfA > sumOfB)
      printf("array A is larger than array B");
   for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
      printf("%d\t",a[i]);
   }
   else if (sumOfA < sumOfB)
      printf {"array B is larger than array A");
   for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
      printf("%d \t",b[i]);
   }
   }

Do you notice any difference? Where is the matching if statement for that else?

Developing a consistent indentation style and always using braces with your control structures will help avoid this kind of problem.

Boss, can i ask a question?
Besides helping people answer the coding how to get reputation?
i shame on it 0 reputation but still a student
self also not expert onlt....
