Hey all,
I am having trouble understanding all of this code to give the sum of n numbers. I think I understand most of it, but there are a few lines which don't make too much sense to me. If anyone could dive deeper into an explanation that would be great!
Thanks
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main ()
{
int i, a[10], sum=0, n;//declares integers i, a[10] (a single demensional array* subscript), sum=0 (to initialize), and n
printf("Enter the amount of numbers:");//prompts user to enter the desired amount of numbers
scanf("%d", &n);//reads the input from the keyboard
printf("Enter the numbers\n");//prompts user to enter the actual numbers as an array
for(i=0; i<n; i++)//for loop: for i, i=0, i<n (the desired amount of numbers), and i incremented
{
scanf("%d", &a[i]);//scans input from keyboard and the array specifications entered by user as defined by the ints i
}
for(i=0; i<n; i++)//for loop: for i, i=0, i<n (the desired amount of numbers), and i incremented
printf("%d", a[i]);//prints... I can't understand this line
for(i=0; i<n; i++)//for loop: for i, i=0, i<n (the desired amount of numbers), and i incremented
{
sum=sum+a[i];//regarding for loop, sum now = sum (0) + the array specifications entered by user as defined by the ints i
}
printf("sum=\t%d", sum);//prints the sum calculated by the previous for loops
return 0;//Can't understand this line either
_getch();Can't understand this line either
}
//*a one dimensional array subscript which is a data script that allows the collection of variables each defined by one or more integer indices.
//can store ten elements in it (0-9). Array indices always begin at the int 0 in C programming.
