Thread: enum and arrays

Here is the code I have. It prints out the current month and previous month in the correct column. Where would I go to make it print out rest of the months underneath them in order? Thanks!!


#include<stdio.h>

enum month{jan=1, feb, mar, apr, may, jun, jul, aug, sep, oct, nov, dec};
typedef enum month month;

month find_prev_month ( month d );

char *month_names[] = {
"December", // this is month 0 - ie, jan-1
"January",
"February",
"March",
"April",
"May",
"June",
"July",
"August",
"September",
"October",
"November",
"December",
};

int main() {
month d,m;
printf("Enter number of the month: ");
scanf("%d", &d);
m=find_prev_month(d);
printf("Current\t\tPrevious\n");
printf("%s\t\t%s\n",month_names[d],month_names[m]);

return 0;
}

month find_prev_month ( month d ) {
return d-1;
}

Stoned;

I inserted the code into the main body of the program, overwriting mine, then ran it, and I got the same result. The output looks like:

Current Previous
August July

This is if I entered 8. So it is running with the exception of printing the remaining months such as:

Current Previous
August July
September August
October September

and so on through the rest of the months.

Yeah, that's the start of how I needed it printed. But that is printing the current and previous month only. Underneath the first line of months, I was wanting it to list in order from that point on the remaining months. Say I started with August or 8 as input, then it would print August and then July on the first line. On the second line it would print September then August. On the third line would be October then September. This would continue until the last line which would read July for Current and June for Previous.

From the starting point, I am wanting to list the remaining 11 months for each column.

Hope this helps you with my crazy way of thinking.....hahaha
