code error[return of function]

[k4z1nh0]

hello. my problem is in this code that i write to tes my knowledge of programmer of pointer and allocation dynamic. here go the code.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
/****************************************************************************/
unsigned char *converte_bit(char *bin,int num_pass,int des_bit);
int informa(int quantia);
/****************************************************************************/
int main(){
        unsigned char *p,*bit;         /* variavel num de 0 ate bit_des informado pelo usuario */
        int i,bit_des,num_des;
        printf("Quantos bits deseja entrar: ");
        fscanf(stdin,"%d",bit_des);
        p=(unsigned char *)malloc(bit_des * sizeof(unsigned char));
        fprintf(stdout,"Digite de 1 ate %d: ",informa(bit_des));
        fscanf(stdin,"%d",num_des);
        bit=converte_bit(p,num_des,bit_des);          /* passa o primeiro endereco de *num pra funcao */
        fprintf(stdout,"Numero %d :\n",num_des);
        fprintf(stdout,"%d em binario eh:",num_des);
        for(i=bit_des;i>=0;i--)printf("%d",*(bit+i));
        printf("\n");
        return(0);
}
/****************************************************************************/
unsigned char *converte_bit(char *bin,int num_pass,int des_bit){       /*esta funcao recebe o ponteiro*/
         int i,div=0,decimal=num_pass;
         for(i=0;i<=des_bit;i++){
/****************************expressoes de conversao*************************/
                div = decimal % 2;
                *(bin+i)=div;
                decimal /= 2;
         }
        return(bin);
}
/*************************expressao que devolve a faixa possivel**************/
int informa(int quantia){
        return(quantia * quantia);
}
/***************************fim dos prototipos de funcoes********************/
/*******************************Por kzinho***********************************/

the erro is when i execut in my linux this code.
i execute him and he have been inform me the quantia*quantia...
he just return the address of one pointer unknow.
please help me in this situation.

One kiss in your asses.

fscanf(stdin,"%d",&bit_des);

...

fscanf(stdin,"%d",&num_des);

Forgot the address-of (&) operator for the above fscanf calls.

p=(unsigned char *)malloc(bit_des * sizeof(unsigned char));

You shouldn't cast the return value of malloc. Also, you don't test if the allocation succeeded (you should). Also, I'm fairly certain that the size of an unsigned char is guaranteed to be 1 so you could just say:

p=malloc(bit_des);
if( p == NULL )
{
    // Do something to handle this condition
}

Why the heck is this stickied?

That's what I was gonna ask. I thought it very odd. I don't mind... but it just doesn't seem sticky-worthy.

Why the heck is this stickied?

Probably because it represents half the questions asked on this board.

At least he used code tags
