    nested loops

    write a c program that asks the user how many results there are per experiment then, using a nested loop, ask the user to enter the results for all four experiments.....
    Here is what i have so far. i can't get the experiment value included in the loop. CAN U PLEASE HELP?
    but i can get the number of results

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	int num_results,i,j;
    	float exp_value, total, average;
    
    	printf("Please enter the number of results per experiment:");
    	scanf("%d",&num_results);
    	
    	for( i=1 ;i<=num_results ;++i )
    	
    	{		
    	printf("Please enter result %d for experiment %d\n",i,j);
    	
    	}
    
    	return (0);	
    }

    I'm not really understanding your question (maybe I'm slow). Whats your problem really? Why arent you using scanf to get input from the user inside that for loop?

    >>write a c program
    ... and you've failed at the first hurdle... this is the C++ board. Hang on tight, we'll move you over to the C board.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    Oops, fixed. Guess I'm not as good at this as kermi.

    >>using a nested loop
    ... means you need one loop inside another. Like this :
    Code:
    for i=0 to MaxExperiments
        print Getting Result For Experient Number $i
        for j=0 to MaxResults
            print Please enter result number $j
            ReadAndStoreInput
        endfor
    endfor
    I presume you're supposed to store the results in a 2d array? I haven't shown that in my pseudo code though, but the basics is there for you to expand upon.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
