Greetings to all
I'm pretty much new to programming in C, so please excuse my mistakes. Since I'm a physics student, I mostly do applications of mathematical formulas and such. I've written a short code which should compute any Legendre polynomial for any l>0, using the formula P_l= ((2l+1)/l)*x*P_1- ((l-1)/l)*P_0.
I've developed the code in Dev-C++, and I can compile and run it. But whenever I type in the numbers needed, the program just closes abruptly! I honestly don't know what's the problem here, and that's why I'm posting this. If anyone could give me a hint, I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance!
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
int l, i;
float x, P[l];
P[0]==1;
P[1]==x;
printf("Type in l i x\n");
scanf("%n %f", &l, &x);
if(l=0)
printf("P = 1\n");
else if(l=1)
printf("P = x\n");
else if(l>1)
{for(i=1; i<l; i++)
{P[l]=((2*l+1)/l)*x*P[1]-((l-1)/l)*P[0];
P[0]==P[1];
P[1]==P[l];}
printf("The polynomial is: %f", P[l]);}
getchar();
getchar();
return 0;}
