Loop code problem

Hi, I am trying to write a program that counts the even numbers from 1-100.I am trying to do this by only using "while" loops.Here is my code at the moment:

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>


int main ()


{


int counter=0;


while (counter<=100 && counter % 2==0){


printf("%d\n",counter);


counter=counter+1;


}


return 0;

---

When i compile it it just prints a 0 then a space!

any ideas?

Because the loop breaks when it reaches 1.
Put the if clause checking for even numbers within the loop body, not in the condition.

Because it's odd?

Yes, and the loop will only run as long as it condition is valid.

I have had a very stressful day and finally this is working thanks!!

Another way would be to use a for loop and increment by 2 each time. Won't have to mess with %.

Code:

---

for(i = 0; i < 101; i += 2)
{

counter += i

}

I see what you mean but we havnt covered for loops yet so ill have to leave it!If i wanted a loop to return to the start of the program. I have encountered another problem in my next question regarding returning a loop to the start.

Code:

---

include <stdio.h>

#define NUMBER 8


int main ()


{


int guess;


("Please enter a guess between 1 and 10:");


scanf("%d", guess);


while (guess >=11)


if (guess==NUMBER){


printf("\nYou have guess correctly");


}


if (guess<NUMBER){


printf("\nYou have guessed incorrectly, the");


}


if (guess>NUMBER){


printf("\nYou have guessed incorrectly");


}


return 0;


}

I have not fully completed some of the printf statements but it should run!!

You forgot the closing bracket for your while loop.

Now it's really not going to work. You need the brackets for the while loop. Also you dont need the guess<NUMBER or guess>NUMBER.

Code:

---

while()
{

if(number is ==)
{

print correct

}
else
{

print incorrect

}

}

---

So far so good but it's creating an infinite loop whereas i want to send it back to the start of the program!Thanks guys i appreciate it

Why do you need it to go back to the start of the program? Can't you just add another scanf function call at the bottom of the while loop? (I'm assuming you reason for needing to return to the beginning would be to enter another guess).

Thanks Csaw, I did what you suggested and it has helped but now it wont recognise the right guess!

That's an easy one...

Code:

---

counter = 2;

while (counter < 101)
  { printf("%d\t",counter);
    counter += 2; }

---

If you want to know how many there are... count = limit / 2;
