But what is your actual question?

Grab the source code for one of the existing CD writer applications for Linux, and study it thoroughly.

CODE tags, as the intro thread says, which you've obviously missed on your stampede to get your question asked as soon as possible.

I'm concerned that you've been here for a while now, and you still haven't figured out this CODE tags deal.

1. It's obsolete. You should really use stdlib.h for getting prototypes to malloc etc. It was used by some ancient compilers, but not anymore. 2. You can't just download a .h file, that's not how it works. You need a library as well, one which is compatible with your compiler.

The first problem to fix is to get a new keyboard. It seems the 'p' and 'z' keys are a bit on the sticky side. [INLINECODE]ppppppprintf("hello world");[/INLINECODE] just isn't going to compile properly. [url]http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#writewell[/url]

Can you spend 10 seconds writing a 1 line program to show you the answers?

If your path looks like that, I'd say you've got other problems in the code as well, because it looks like something has been trashed.

[INLINECODE]array[7] = array[8]; array[8] = array[9];[/INLINECODE] And so on, but you'll probably want to use a loop.

[INLINECODE]person people[20];[/INLINECODE] Then a for loop which does things with [INLINECODE]people[i][/INLINECODE]

Presumably [INLINECODE]if ( someNumber > 999 )[/INLINECODE] somewhere in the code is what you want.

Or just use code tags, it's all anyone really needs.

Why bother, it looks perfectly readable as it is. The ?: operator (you'll need two of them) will just render it an unreadable mess. The code won't be any quicker for using ?:

You can't prove something is a random sequence, but you can apply [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diehard_tests"]a number of tests[/URL] to see how random it might be.

Check all your macros (the #defines, and where they are used) for any mis-match of ( ) { } " " or anything else which needs to be balanced. Seems like another lesson in "compile often" to spot problems early, rather than "compile at end and panic post on a …

Erm, you use select(), and you post some kind of attempt at using select() so we can figure out where you went wrong. Saying which OS and compiler you're using would be a good idea as well.

Well with any luck, at least two people will get bounced off the course for handing in identical homework.
