Need help with Dev C++

[Shyam Raj]

Hi All, I'm new to this forum. I recently started coding in C. I've tried two IDE's - CodeBlocks and DevC++.

But I get some kind of an error which am not able to resolve.

Here's a screen shot of the same.



And this is the the simple code that am trying to execute:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main(void)
{
    int a[50];
    int i;
    for(i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++)
    {
          char next;
          scanf("%d", &a[i]);
          printf("Got more?");
          scanf("%c", next);
          if(next == 'y')
                continue;
          else
                break;
    }
    printf("Count = %d", i);
    getch();
    return 0;
}

Anyone knows how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

scanf("%d", &a[i]);
printf("Got more?");
scanf("%c", next);

Compare the two scanf lines.

Also

scanf("%d", &a[i]);
printf("Got more?");
scanf("%c", next);

Compare the two scanf lines.

Also

"rags_to_riches", thanks for taking time out to answer my question.

But the code that you've written is the same as I posted???

Obviously, he's asking you to look closer and see the error.

Yes, but one of those lines is wrong.
rags_to_riches asked you to compare the two lines, and try to figure out what is wrong.

Here's another hint - enable more warnings for your compiler (this probably only works in code::blocks)

$ gcc -Wall bar.c
bar.c: In function ‘main’:
bar.c:12: warning: format ‘%c’ expects type ‘char *’, but argument 2 has type ‘int’
bar.c:12: warning: ‘next’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Thanks mate, i resolved the previous issue.

I'm writing this program to scan an array of integers, but doesn't seem to work properly.

Here's the code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main(void)
{
    int a[50];
    int i;
    for(i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++)
    {
          char next;
          scanf("%d", &a[i]);
          printf("Got more?");
          scanf("%s", &next);
          if(next == 'y')
                continue;
          else
                break;
    }
    printf("Count = %d", i);
    getch();
    return 0;
}

The list does scan numbers, but the count value displayed at the end is incorrect.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

How many bytes will %s write to the char pointer you passed in?

Answer - at least TWO

Is there room for two characters in your code?

Also, drop Dev C++ and use an IDE that hasn't been abandoned for years.

[ssharish2005]

Its sad Dev-C++ is dying! Or perhaps dead! I use to love thew IDE.

[claudiu]

I never loved it because it was full of bugs, even during the prime of its time.

[ssharish2005]

I used to use it just for the IDE. Never use to compile anything on it tho. Occasionally still use the IDE. Altho I agree there are better IDE like Code::Block.
It was very useful to write sample codes to test certain bit while developing a huge project. And also I found it quite useful with contrast to other IDE, that u need a project file even to develop a simple code.

I like the clt+N -> new file -> compile thing on Dev-C++. And not to worry about creating project and the other stuff.

Perhaps this is still available feature on other IDE which I might haven’t discovered to its complete extent.

Code::Blocks does that too...to a certain extent.
Ctrl+N will give a text file.. but if you create or open a .cpp or .c file, you can compile that directly, without bothering with a project.

[claudiu]

I agree with manasij, in fact, I use Code::Blocks all the time for quick "one-file-builds" usually to test code posted by people on this forum.

dev-c++ has been reborn -> Orwell Dev-C++ | Free Development software downloads at SourceForge.net
I've no idea how many IDE bugs have been fixed, or what new features it offers, but at least it is using a much newer version of GCC.
