Thanks all,

here was my example, just for completeness, I found mentors for my needs.

Thanks a lot to all!


#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
  short nnote;

  // Numerischen Notenwert einlesen
  printf("Bitte numerischen Schulnotenwert eingeben: ");
  scanf("%d",&nnote);

  switch (nnote)
  {
    case 1: printf("Die Note %d entspricht sehr gut.",nnote);
    break;
    case 2: printf("Die Note %d entspricht gut.",nnote);
    break;
    case 3: printf("Die Note %d entspricht befriedigend.",nnote);
    break;
    case 4: printf("Die Note %d entspricht ausreichend.",nnote);
    break;
    case 5: printf("Die Note %d entspricht mangelhaft.",nnote);
    break;
    case 6: printf("Die Note %d entspricht ungenügend.",nnote);
    break;
    default: printf("%d ist keine zulässige Schulnote!");
  }
  printf("\n");
}

P.S.:
I found that declaring nnote as int soleves my problem, but I couldnÄt 
understand why.
Another one was the result of default: nnote was -1077942208 instead of 9 for 
example.
