man, when i was in the Navy, we had our BMI regularly measured. it used some other measurements like neck and waist but essentially the same.

there was a guy who had a BMI of 8 or 9. many of us...

if you want the capability of being able to shoot yourself in the foot, you can try

3. use fixed width records and one or more of "fseek", "ftell", "fsetpos", and "rewind" to manipulate the...

i don't really know what you're talking about, but thanks for posting your solution.

someone will wander across this someday and be helped by it.

:)

you need to post a question if you want an answer.

when you 'getch' you're taking the next character off of the input queue for processing.

this assumes once you've processed it, you're done with it, and will (probably) eventually want to get...

the main() program can often be called by a parent program. 'return 0;' indicates to the caller (parent) that the main() program executed correctly.

so... generally speaking, the main function...

the error is probably due to the fact that 'x' isn't initialized, so it's value is something like negative eleventy thousand, causing your program to crap the bed when it uses it as one of the array...

you got both loops fighting over the same index 'i'

this thread is a disaster. :)

you are a patient man, Salem.

use code tags correctly. and make sure your code is indented. otherwise, it's a ridiculous mess, and no one will want to look at it.

int main(void)
{
// hello, i am properly formatted...

:$

yes, you're right.

even though it works for this trivial example, not casting it properly is a bad habit to get into.

the correct way to initialize it is:

char q[16];
char *p = (char...

try this:

char q[16];
char *p = &q;
strcpy(q,"abc");

.

this is not your thread to ask basic questions. go open your own thread on how to use IF.

and if you don't know how to use sscanf() -- much less how to look it up (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sscanf)...

what you have written here is an identifier from a #define'd constant -- not a string.

if it were a string, then you could use sscanf() as Tom Gunn suggested. but he's assumed that you really...

your .NET installation is broken. Unless you're some sort of windows/.NET guru, the chance of you fixing it correctly is small.

uninstall all visual studio and .NET components, reboot, then...

'k' is a pointer. meaning it describes, or "points to," an address of memory.

when you first declare this pointer, there is no memory allocated for it and the address that it points to is...

that's one way to do it. I prefer to use "strtol()", because you can do more robust error checking to see if the user entered a valid number.

but sure... try "atoi()" to get started.

.

fflush(stdin) is totally, utterly, and completely wrong.

never, ever, use it.

learn to parse your input correctly in the first place, and you wont have this problem.

so get rid of scanf()...

most of these trifling problems will go away when you throw away the P.O.S. Borland/Turbo compiler and get a real C/C++ compiler like CodeBlocks (http://www.codeblocks.org) or Bloodshed Dev C++...

the answer to your basic problem:
if isdigit(cResponse);
is incorrect. it should be
if (isdigit(cResponse))
{
// do stuff here
}

(1) an if-statement must be entirely enclosed in...

or, conversely:

you post your code there, and wait for someone to make it better and hope some guy doesn't expect you to actually learn something, and you can just sit on your ass waiting for...

i dont know what you did, but your code is not visible.

so, please use code tags.


put your code here

EDIT: never mind. find it yourself. (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=mulitple+precision+library)

what salem said.

and, anyhow, if you really want to do this correctly, you will use the standard C library <time.h> (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ctime/) ... you will make use of...

oh, hell, i just cut and pasted his code. i didn't even notice that

:)

um... you pretty much just described the two steps.

$ gcc file1.c main.c
$ ./a.out

what more do you want to do?

as already stated, never try to use strings as cases for a switch. Some languages (like Perl) will allow this. C will not.

you could, for instance, try something like this:

void...

awesome!



sure can!



you're welcome!

well, K&R is not really written for the beginner. It was written for people who were professional programmers in another language looking to learn the "new" language C.

obviously it's also...

you did not implement it right.

before declaring it 'done', you need to test the program with known values and known solutions. like the one i described x=85, p=6, n=5, y=238 ... the result...

why do a convoluted loop? the point, anyhow, is to learn bitwise operators. otherwise throw the chapter away and go learn about loops.

but i do see that i misunderstood part of the question. ...

andy is damned and determined to pound those square pegs into some round holes.

bummer. i was looking forward to some cool Narue code.

.

take the example: given x=0x55 (dec 85, binary 01010101), p=6, n=5, and y=0xEE (dec 238, binary 11101110)

what you want to happen is this:


x= 01010101 (0x55, dec 85)
p=6 ^ (bit #6)...

~(~0 << n) makes a bitmask of ones equal to the number 'n'. does this by first filling the integer full of ones, then shifting them to the left 'n' bits (filling lsb's with zeros), then inverts all...

uh, yeah, i meant to say that the memory is allocated when the "program" is called.

but look if you want to be a pedant, then it's true there's no static array in the OP's snippet. what there is...

short answer: static arrays are allocated when the function is called, at which point your variable is undefined. so the construct is illegal.

if you want to dynamically allocate arrays, you...

yeah, it usually is, when you try and quit the internets.

^ so.... whatever happened to June 6th?

rabbi ... what? :-O
