Thread: Question

Hey guys,
I am stuck on a question in my C Programming Book and i was wondering if you guys can help anyways...

I need to write a program using a while/do-while/for loop command that counts positive and negative numbers in a list of integers from a file

eg.
5 (total number of integers in the list)
2
-3
4
7
-9

Ok I have...

Code:

	int a, b, c, d, e, numbers;
	int positives, negatives;
	FILE *input;
	
	input=fopen ("C:\\hw4-1in.dat.txt.", "r");
	fscanf(input, "\r%d\n", &numbers);
	printf(	"%d", numbers);
	fscanf(input, "%d\n", &a);
	printf(	"%d", a);
	fscanf(input, "%d\n", &b);
	printf(	"%d", b);
	fscanf(input, "%d\n", &c);
	printf(	"%d", c);
	fscanf(input, "%d\n", &d);
	printf(	"%d", d);
	fscanf(input, "%d\n", &e);
	printf(	"%d", e);

	
	
	fclose(input);



	if (a>0)
		{
		positives=1+positives;
		}
	else if (a<0)
		{
		negatives=1+negatives;
		}
	

	if (b>0)
		{
		positives=1+positives;
		}
	else if (b<0)
		{
		negatives=1+negatives;
		}
		

	if (c>0)
		{
		positives=1+positives;
		}
	else if (c<0)
		{
		negatives=1+negatives;
		}


	if (d>0)
		{
		positives=1+positives;
		}
	else if (d<0)
		{
		negatives=1+negatives;
		}


	if (e>0)
		{
		positives=1+positives;
		}
	else if (e<0)
		{
		negatives=1+negatives;
		}

printf ("The total number of the positive integers is \n %d", positives);
printf ("The total number of the negative integers is \n %d", negatives);

}

It keep saying windows encountered a problem when i run it...

Any help would be appreciated thanks!!

What part are you stuck on? Post what you're tried so far, so we can see where you're up to.

If that's all of your code then it looks like you're miising your 'main' function, which is what most of your code should probably be in, and is defined as an int. Take a look at some of the other examples in your programming book.
