display 10 consecutive lines...........

imbecile in C · 07-09-2003, 01:18 PM

Could anyone help me with this book exercise:

"Display the user's name input from the keyboard in 10 consecutive lines, using the variable once..."

I don't get it,..

I have an idea that I'll type the name " John Lennon "
and then it'll print the whole name down in 10 lines...

please, give me your ideas... hints or perhaps
a simple source code...

thanks

im not sure about the "variable once" part.

can you do this?

Code:

#define MAX_NAME    25

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int x = 1;
    char name[MAX_NAME + 1];
    
    printf("What is your name?\n");
    fgets(name, MAX_NAME, stdin);
    
    printf("\nHeres your name 10 more times\n");
    
    while(x < 11) {
        printf("%i) %s", x, name);
        
        ++x;
    }   

    return 0;
}

i used name once but the compiler could unroll the loop or you could say that the loop is using it 10 times. i dont like the problem.

Sounds like another one of the strange questions, here's my effort for the day (note the use of the variable once):

Code:

  char once[BUFSIZ];
  
  if (fgets(once, sizeof once, stdin))
  {
    /* Now loop to print 10 times */
  }

I've taken full note of your ideas and hints...

i'll compile it on our lab,.. and check everything !!

Thanks a lot Dudes !!

Just in case you didn't get it, mine was a sarcastic response

Really? I thought you did exactly what the (very clearly worded) exercise stated.

And even more amusing, we use the variable once once.

Code:

char once[BUFSIZ], *p = once;
fgets( p, BUFSIZ, stdin );
printf("%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s"
       ,p,p,p,p,p,p,p,p,p,p);

[edit] Variable renaming to make both fragments of the printf statement the same length. :P [/edit]
