    Please debug the error!

    Hi friends, i have written a C-prog,for implementing the equation in the attached file.. plz see the attachment!



    assume tau(0)=0
    tau(1)=0.1
    T=0.1
    X(tau(0))=1 as we know X = e^-t
    X(tau(1))= X(0.1)= e^-0.1

    n=2,3...20.


    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    #include<math.h>
    void main()
    {
    float x[20]={0},tau[20]={0},A,B,C,D,e=2.718;
    int n,T=0.1;
    tau[0]=0;
    tau[1]=0.1;
    x[0]=pow(e,0);
    x[1]=pow(e,-0.1);
    clrscr();
    for(n=1;n<=20;n++)
    {
    x[tau[n]]=pow(e,-tau[n]);
    x[tau[n-1]]=pow(e,-tau[n-1]);
    A=x[tau[n]]-x[tau[n-1]];
    B=tau[n]-tau[n-1];
    C=A/B;
    if(C<0)
    C=-C;
    D=C+1;
    tau[n+1]=tau[n]+T/D;
    printf("tau[n+1]=%f\n",tau[n+1]);
    }
    getch();
    }
    This prog is giving some error,if anyone debugs it plz let me know

    thnx in advance!

    Code:
    for(n=1;n<=20;n++)
    {
    x[tau[n]]=pow(e,-tau[n]);
    x[tau[n-1]]=pow(e,-tau[n-1]);
    A=x[tau[n]]-x[tau[n-1]];
    B=tau[n]-tau[n-1];
    C=A/B;
    if(C<0)
    C=-C;
    D=C+1;
    tau[n+1]=tau[n]+T/D;
    printf("tau[n+1]=%f\n",tau[n+1]);
    }
    in the last two iterations you are trying to access tau[20] and tau[21]....
    i think it should be n<19

    You may want to indent your code to make it more readable.

    stewie is correct. The maximum element for tau is 19, so 20 and 21 are out-of-bounds.
    And then indent your code from this unreadable mess!

    And know that main returns int, not void!

    Indentation is not second-hand. It is first priority and is done as you write the code, not afterwards.
