    If you had to do it yourself, how would you figure out what the answer would be?

    am just trying new C problems because of am new to C and just thought of trying more
    The point I (failed to) make was that if you don't know how to do it yourself, you can't program the machine to do it.

    So if I gave it 2 and 3 the program would give me 6?

    That's not a C problem, that's an algebra problem.
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge

    I'll type something up here, as I would guess even if your account goes away you'll still be able to read this. (Not a promise, or a threat, just a prediction.)

    I don't think I, or anyone here, can think for you -- that's something you are going to have to do for yourself. (Some people think "think" is a scary word and like to call it "problem solving ability" or whatever.) But really: if I gave you the list 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 could you get to the answer 24? If I gave you 3, 5, 15, 25 what number should you give me back? What if I gave you the list 7?
