Issues with if statement
I am having issues with my if statement and have done everything I can think of to get it to work but it continues to return the first option no matter what I enter. Could someone please help...
if (prft1 >= 0)
{ if (prft1 == 0) printf("You have broken even from selling goldfish. \n", prft1 );
else
printf("Your profit from selling goldfish is $%.2f. \n", prft1);
}
else
printf("Your loss from selling goldfish is $%.2f. \n", prft1);
You might try it like this:
PHP Code:[CODE]
if(prft1==0)
printf("You have broken even from selling goldfish. \n", prft1 );
else if(prft1>0)
printf("Your profit from selling goldfish is $%.2f. \n", prft1);
else
printf("Your loss from selling goldfish is $%.2f. \n", prft1);
[/CODE]
[ code ] tags please...
Have a look at this test version of your code:
[edit]Code:#include <stdio.h> void tester (float prft1); int main(void) { float a, b; tester (0.0); tester (1.0); tester (-1.0); tester (1.1 - 1.1); a = 1.1; b = 2.2; tester (a + b - 3.3); return(0); } void tester (float prft1) { if (prft1 >= 0) { if (prft1 == 0) { printf("You have broken even from selling goldfish. \n", prft1); } else { printf("Your profit from selling goldfish is $%.2f. \n", prft1); } } else { printf("Your loss from selling goldfish is $%.2f. \n", prft1); } } /* Output: You have broken even from selling goldfish. Your profit from selling goldfish is $1.00. Your loss from selling goldfish is $-1.00. You have broken even from selling goldfish. Your profit from selling goldfish is $0.00. */
And yes, a better formatting for the conditional statement would be good (as shown)
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Post more of your code, together with sample input+output, and any error messages you are getting for it.

could you tell me how to post it.. I am using a unix system from UCF.
Copy and paste it?
Why are you passing prft1 to printf? It will work because of _cdecl, but it's a wrong way to call printfCode:printf("You have broken even from selling goldfish. \n", prft1);
