Thread: for loop problems

hey guys can some one look over my code....it wont compile im using miracle c...can you guys tell me if its the code or the compiler....thanks

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>


int main()
{

	/* declared variable*/
	int a;
	int b;
	int c;
	int d;
	
	
	for(a = 1; a <= 7; a++) // will increment by 1 until 7 is reached
	{
		printf("%d/n", a); //will print out result
	}
	
	
	for(b = 1; b <= 23; b += 5)
	{
		printf("%d/n", b);
	}
	
	for(c = 20; c >= -10; c -= 6)
	{
		printf("%d/n", c);
	}
		
	for(d = 19; d <= 51; d += 8)
	{
		printf("%d/n", d);
	}
	
	
	getch();
	return 0;
	
}

there are no compile errors it just wont compile....is there a free c compiler out there?? thats better then miracle c?

i fixed the ch to char it ran and its good now thanks

Yes, try: dev c++, visual studio express, or code blocks.

Also, getch() should be getchar(). Maybe that would get it to work? Although your compiler should say something about it.

it did work i have dev c++ but i dont know how to compile c programs in it...i would write the code save it as a c file but it wont compile or anything....and i have to put getchar at the end of the file because i run in vista and the dos window wont stay up

Also I am sure you meant to place a new line? Good call on using getchar

use this

Code:

printf("%d\n", b);

Also not sure why you need the getchar() here?

getchar() is what keeps the command line window from disappearing at the end of program execution.

Also, you not not need the math header file in the code.

Prefer using "/* */" for comments instead of "//" in ANSI standart it is not acceptable.
