Thread: fix this code

The user need to type largest (3,7,11,9) at the prompt. It means that I have 3 numbers in the array and I need to find the largest integer in the array containing 7, 11, 9.

I was able to get the program to read 3 as teh size of the array but how can I instruct the program to put the 7, 11, 9 in the array??

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char *nargs;
	int num[sizeof nargs];
	int largestsofar = 0; 
    int i;
	
	if (argc==2)
        {
		nargs=malloc(strlen(argv[1]+1));
	    strcpy (nargs, argv[1]);
		}

	for(i=0;i<sizeof(nargs)/sizeof(char);i++) 
	{ 
		if (largestsofar < num[i]) 
			largestsofar = num[i];
	}

	printf("The largest integer is: %d\n",largestsofar);
	printf("%d",nargs);

	free(nargs);
   
    return 0;
}

thanks for the help.....but what if I want the user to type parenthesis like largest (4,5,6,7,9)

your code get rids of the commas. I tried to get rid of the () but it does not seem to work, I was trying to add && || to the code!!
