Here is the C code for your BASIC script:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>

void main()
  {
    char x[50],text[50]="This is default text";
    int  x1=0,amount=50;
    printf("\n");
    printf("Enter something if you like!  <%s> ",text);
    gets(x);
    if (strlen(x))
      strcpy(text,x);
    printf("Enter a value <%d> ",amount);
    scanf("%d",&x1);
    if (x1 != 0)
      amount=x1;
    printf("\n");
    printf("The value of text$ now = %s\n",text);
    printf("The amount = %d\n",amount);
    getch();
  }
