Need help writing code! My minds blanking out! I'm not sure how to do this with arrays. Can someone please explain arrays and pointers to me and maybe figure this out?
Also there's this one...Which compiles fine but it always says that it does not contain hydroxide, so I'm not sure where the error is here.Code:/*Purpose: The purpose of this program is to take two numerical lists of the same length ending in a sentinel value and store the lists in two arrays named x and y. Each of these arrays will have 20 elements. The products of the two elements x and y will be stored in z. Then the arrays will be displayed in a table with three columns. After this display the square root of the sum of the products in z.*/ #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #define MAX_ITEM 20 //set max number of elements to 20 int main (void) { double x[MAX_ITEM], //data list double sum, //sum of data double sum_sqr, //sum of the sums square root int i; //get the data printf("Enter %d numbers seperated by blanks\n> ", MAX_ITEM); //get string of numbers for (i = 0; i M < MAX_ITEM; i++) scanf { sum += x[i]; sum_sqr += x[i] * x[i] }
Lastly I've been working on this program for awhile now and it has not been able to compile. Please help me with it if you can. (ignore the parts about the phonebook the example here is supposed to be for an array of integers)Code:/*Purpose: The purpose of this program is to write a function called hydroxide and return a 1 for true if its arguments end in the substring of OH.*/ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <malloc.h> #define FALSE 0 #define TRUE 1 /*Function: isHydroxide Purpose: determine if input string ends in oh or OH Arguments: none Returns: TRUE or FALSE */ int isHydroxide(char* str, int size); int isHydroxide(char* str, int size) { //checks that it ends in OH or oh if(str[size] == 0x4F || str[size] == 0x6F) if(str[size - 2] == 0x48 || str[size - 1] == 0x68) return TRUE; //if it contains OH return FALSE; //if it does not contain OH } /*Function: main Purpose: determine if compound ends in oh or OH Arguments: none Returns: string, 0 upon completion*/ int main (int argc, char **argv) { char *input = (char *)malloc(512); //allocate memory for string int i = 0; printf("\nEnter a chemical compound: "); scanf("%s", input); //get string input //Finds the length of the array minus 1 while(input[i] != '\0') i ++; if(isHydroxide(input, i)) printf("\n The compound %s is a hydroxide\n\n", input); else printf("\n The compound %s is not a hydroxide\n\n", input); return 0; }
I need all the help I can get! Thanks for your time!Code:/*Purpose: The purpose of this program is to construct and algorithm to find a name in the phone book. It needs to locate the name of the middle in the book. If the name is not at the middle it needs to determine if it is before or after it and find the middle of that section. It repeats until the name is found. This algorithm has to test a function called binary_srch and needs to inplement the algorithm for an array of integers.*/ #include <stdio.h> #define MAX_ITEM 10 /*Function: main Purpose: to find a name by going to the midpoint, determining if that is the name or if it is before or after that midpoint and repeating until the name is found.
