problem in executing the program

[j.shakthiyokesh]

i am having problem in executing the following program.........when i execute it,it's getting hanged....pls gimme a gud solution

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int n,x=0,y=1,z;
printf("\nEnter a number of your choice:");
scanf("%d",&n);
z=n;
do
{
x=n%8;
x=x+x*y;
y=y*10;
z=z/8;
}while(z<8);
printf("\nThe octal equivalent of the number entered is %d",x);
}

does it show any output? Check the z variable on the while loop, no manipulation on it. Could make the loop infinite...

is dere anything wronng wid my coding logic???????dis is a prog for converting a decimal to octal number.....

[roottybrian]

I meant to ask, does it execute the while loop? if so for how long?
When you say it hangs, do you mean it doesn't show anything or what?
