Hi all
I have to write code that ask the user to input a current (that will be split into two currents) and then the output from the code should display the two resulting currents given two input resistors. That part I can do but my problem is I have to then take all that and create tables that gives a range of values from small to large for the resistor values and then shoots out the answers in another column. Any ideas? Il add my current codes as well. Thanks in advance

So the following code needs to be included in the bigger block below it

// Lab 3
#include "stdio.h"
#include "math.h"

int main(int arg)
{
      int I1;
      int I2;
      int I3;
      int R2;
      int R3;
      int N;      

      //power dissipation is r^2*I


      ;printf("Enter the initial current in Amps:");
      scanf("%d",&I1);

      ;printf("Enter R2 in ohms:");
      scanf("%d",&R2);

      ;printf("Enter R3 in ohms:");
      scanf("%d",&R3);

      ;printf("Enter the number of entries:");
      scanf("%d",&N);

      I2 = R3/(R2+R3)*I1;
      printf("The value of I2 is : %lf\n",I2);

      I3 = (R2/(R2+R3))*I1;
      printf("The value of I3 is : %lf\n",I3);
      ;return 0;
}

Even if somebody can help me simply to display values of I1 in column one and values of I2 in column two then that would be of great help already. If there is a shorter way of taking the first block of code and displaying two columns of currents then even better. Thanks heaps
