Thread: Need help with array program.

I'm writing a program using an array.

Write a program that asks for user input of two integers, write the code so that the program does the sum of two integers, the subtraction of two integers, the division of two integers, the multiplication of two integers and stores the results in an array and outputs the results of that array to the screen.

My program seems to work, but I'm wondering if I did the array part right. Also, when I enter -1 to end it makes me enter another number before it will close out the program. Not sure why this is.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ( void )
{
        int x;
        int y;
        float array[4];

        printf( "Enter two integers: \n" );
        scanf( "%d" "%d",&x, &y );

        while( x != -1 )  
        {
            array[0] = x + y;
            array[1] = x - y;
            array[2] = x * y;
            array[3] = x / ( float )y;

            printf( "The results of the sum of the two integers is: %.2f\n", array[0] );
            printf( "The results of the subtraction of the two integers is: %.2f\n", array[1] );
            printf( "The results of the multiplication of two integers is: %.2f\n", array[2] );
            printf( "The results of the division of two integers is: %.2f\n", array[3] );

            printf( "Enter two integers: \n" );
            scanf( "%d" "%d",&x, &y );
        }

return 0;
}

The array seems to be okay.The reason you get the program to aks for two numbers to stop executing is that scanf into the body loop requires two numbers to be typed.If you want to be done with one,then you should read them seperately.

Also please note that you use a float array for handling int input.Why?
If the user tries to input a float number then i guess the program won't work

scanf() for just ONE number inside the loop. Then, test that one number, and if it == -1, then your loop should end, if it's anything else, your loop should continue.

I used the float because of the division portion. 15 / 2 gave me 7 rather than 7.5.

I'm still not quite sure how to end on 1 input. I tried:

Code:

scanf( "%d",&x );
scanf( "%d",&y );

But that does the same thing. I also tried only scanning for x which worked, but if I didn't wan to end then it only reads 1 number.
I'm probably missing something obvious or just not understanding what you mean by testing separately.
