hi im trying to write a C program that produces an array like this
1,2,4,8,16...
Basically i produce an array with with the power of 2 starting at 0 and going up to n. Here is my current code: However the array dosent show. What is the problem?
# include <stdio.h>
# include "simpio.h"
# include "genlib.h"
# include "strlib.h"
# define maxElements 500


main()
{
int a,b,c,d,e,f,g;
int nArray[maxElements];

printf("what is the max amount of 2's you want?");
a=GetInteger();
b=0;
c=a;
d=2;
while(c!=0)
{
e=a;
while(e!=0)
{
d=d*2;
e=e-1;
printf("yo");
}
if(e==0)
{
d=1;
a=a-1;
nArray[b]=d;
b=b+1;
c=c-1;
break;
}
else
a=a-1;
nArray[b]=d;
b=b+1;
c=c-1;
}
getchar();
}

>>However the array dosent show
What does that mean? And please use code tags.

I just can't bear the thought of deciphering what your variables represent. You need meaningful variable names.

Also, indent your control structures so that you know what is nested. (You may just need to use the [code] brackets.

Also, your code is overly complicated. Since you know the stopping value "maxElements", why not loop around that number of times while calling the pow function?

how do i use code tags? And what i mean by it dosnt display is that the array dosent appear when i run the program

The array isnt being output because you dont include that line in your program. You have to print the array when your done filling it.
To use code tags click the code button above the box in which you type your reply.

You're not using any print statements with your array. Create a loop to display its elements.

how do i use a print statement for arrays?

something like this:

K here is what i've got. However the program immediatley termanates. Why? Also if you could take my program and edit it it would be heavily appreciated.
