Excellent! That works, thanks everyone 2d arrays are my new best friends :)

nope,now I'm seeing 17 and sometimes 20

That works! But is there a way I can ensure that the 20 locations always get filled? It seems to only get around 18

The max_total is 20 I initially had a while loop to ensure that 20 positions got filled but once it didn't work i took it out.


while(count<=max_total){

for (int i=0;i<max_total;i++) {...

Yeah, so its running now after i made some changes.

float game(const int array3[][col], int row_size, int col_size,int max_location)
{
int attempts=0;
int rowLoc;
int colLoc;
int...

nope, I declared i and j before as suggested and now the error sits on the initializer line. I was wondering how I could search just the user provided location instead of going through the whole...

ok I have no idea what is going on so I'll post the entire fuction NB. the function is supposed to return the user score based on attempts and found locations


float game(const int yard[][col],...

I got a more than a little errors most of them say something like

error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'

I wonder if this is because The function is located in a separate C file

Oh thanks i understand thats why I edited the post but i was asking something else but I guess you had already seen the first post.I'll repost so you'll know what I'm talking about.
If I had to...

Thanks a bundle one last thing say I had to guess at a location and i guessed at the row and column how would i check that specific row and column to see if it contained the id? Here what i came up...

Thanks, can I also ask and why is it necessary to use the time function along with rand()? and using LamaBot's method don't I wanna check it the location is equal to zero using something like


...

oh, and why are we defining elements to 100?

Thanks for the help, First of it hast to be a multi-d array since the rows and columns are predefined.

Second what is wrong with my attempt at initialization to zeros?


byard[row][col] =...

ok maybe I didn't explain this right the array has a fixed amount of rows and columns. I am supposed to randomly populate the array with 12 objects
I wanted to identify the objects with a number...

I need a function that will populate a multidimensional array with a fixed amount of elements. So that only some of the locations contain a distinguishing number for identification.

Heres the code I know the indention is terrible but hopefully u would understand:



#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<math.h>

/*Function Prototypes*/

I've built and rebuilt several times the variables are all integers

here is my updated function:


int rounds(int,int);/*Prototype*/
score1=rounds(ranNum,guess1);/*Call rounds function*/
...

/*function prototype*/
void rounds(int,int);

rounds(ranNum,guess1);/*Call rounds function*/


The error is on the function call line.Can the same function return the score to main to determine...

I changed the variable to random and I'm still getting the error

I have a function called rounds that that carries out a round for a two player guessing game the score is calculated based on the time taken and the attempts used


void rounds(int rand, int...

So I'm supposed to expand on this game and make it two player. I have modularised and I started on a rounds function that will take in each players' guess and the random number and carry out a round....

One last thing, how would i display a cumulative score at the end of all of the rounds?

The formula for the score was given as

score = 5 * (total amount of attempts allowed - actual amount of attempts taken)

where the total amount allowed is 5 so if i guess right on the first try...

Ok, so I should have mentioned that the random function was provided so I can't change it so were the condition for the messages. I added the score after the inner while loop and it works like a...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/*Funtion Prototypes*/
int genRandom(void);

int main(void)

{
/*Declare variables*/

Thanks a bundle. It works now except when I'm correct I can't break out of the loop and print the score, also It isn't starting another round after the failed attempts.

here is the revised code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/*Funtion Prototypes*/
int genRandom(void);

int main(void)

I been trying to work on my indentation and I thought I was getting better can you suggest a good code editor that would help?

Thanks.

I have this program to write thats a guessing game. the user specifies the amount of rounds and only 5 attempts per round is allowed a round is over when the user guesses correctly or the number of...

I already have about eight or so functions the results are supposed to be printed to to a logfile and to screen but I took out the commands to make it simpler when you say unreachable what do you...

I thought I was finished with this program but now I can’t find a way to make it quit. The loop continues even when I enter the terminating character. I’ll post he whole thing. The answer may be...

i am expecting a character count of the longest line using a variable text file I created a txt file to test on about nine lines long and the logest line is about 23 characters but currently i'm...

thanks, I didn't see the point in posting the entire code either but I was trying to be cooperative, originally the file was to be opened in main so the filename would be variable. Longest() was to...

entire code

/*Funtion Prototypes*/

int averagechar(int,int);
int longest(void);
int shortest(void);

Ok, tried this

int longest(void)

{
char line[BUFSIZE] = {'\0'} ;
int counter=0;
int longest=0;
char fname[128];
FILE *file;

Well I guess I should just toss in my hat and quit then, i'm kinda new at this and I did use the tutorial given as my guide and this what I gathered from it if its wrong then i'm sorry but at least...

btw I'm a she...:o I tried changing the !=0 to NULL, I tried incooperating the if (counter<longest) within the while braces but longest is still returning zilch. So I took out fgets(since I thought...

I am opening the file in main now my value for longest is always zero. I am using separate functions one for the longest and another for the shortest

/*Funtion Prototypes*/

int...

I'm trying to use fgets but it isn't proving very easy and of course it doen't complile


/*longest() takes in a file stream and finds the longest line*/

How do I use fgets if I am not sure of the maximum line size?


while (fgets(line, LINE_MAX, file) != EOF)
