multiplication table

I am writting a program that displays a multiplication table....but my output is a constant 144 144 144 etc....

I cant find the error in my program.

Code:

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

int multab(int, int);
int main()
{
	int a,b;
	int table[12][12];

	FILE * outfile;

	outfile = fopen ("Michael Kuck's Project 4.txt", "w");

	printf("Michael Kuck's Project 4 \n\n");
	fprintf(outfile, "Michael Kuck's Project 4 \n\n");

		printf("					Multiplication Table \n\n");
		fprintf(outfile, "					 Multiplication Table \n\n");

	for (a =1; a=12; a++)
	{
		for (b=1; b=12;b++)
		{
			table [a][b] = multab(a,b);		// function call (multiplication)
			printf("%5d", table [a][b]);
			fprintf(outfile, "%5d", table [a][b]);
		}
		printf("\n\n");
		fprintf(outfile, "\n\n");
	}
	printf("End of Project 4 \n\n");
	fprintf(outfile, "End of Project 4\n\n");

	fclose(outfile);
	return 0;
} //end of function main
int multab(int a, int b) // recursive definition for multiplication function
{
	int result;

	if (b==1)
		result = a;
	else
		result = a + multab(a,b -1);
	return(result);
} //end of function multab

thanks

Code:

You are setting a and b equal to 12 as your for-loop condition. Instead use:

Code:

	for (a =1; a<12; a++)
	{
		for (b=1; b<12;b++)

duh! thanks swoopy!!
