Replace Array

This is a short program I have been working on.....I have got it to open a binaryfile...however I would like to use a function called replace (void replace (double *array, int size)) that will replace the smallest element in the array with -9999.0. All help would be appreciated!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int
main (void)
{
        FILE *binaryfile;
        int i,x;
        
        binaryfile = fopen ("numbers.bin", "rb");
 
        for (i=1; i<=10; ++i)
        {
               fread (&x, sizeof(int), 1, binaryfile);
               printf ("%d ", x);
        }
 
        fclose (binaryfile);
 
        return (0);
}

So write a function to read through an array and locate the smallest value.
Now go to that spot in the array, replace your value, do whatever it is you need to with the array.
Your code isn't really an attempt at anything. All you're doing is showing you know how to open a file.


Quzah.

My choice for reading the data would be different.

Code:

 double array[10];
      size_t i, count = fread(array, sizeof *array, sizeof array / sizeof *array, file);
      fclose(file);
      replace(array, count);
      for ( i = 0; i < count; ++i )
      {
         printf("%g\n", array[i]);
      }

Ok.....I have added more to my program..I try to get myself to do the basics then work from there so I had to ask the user to input a file...then read the file and replace the smallest double with
-9999.0 The only error I'm geting is " c:52 file does not end in a new line" Any advice? Please! As you see that bottom is a mess!!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int
main (void)
{

	void fileio (void);
	{
	
	char USERINPUT[100] 
	double RECORD[100];

	
	FILE *BINARYFILE;

	printf	("Enter a file to be opened?\n");
	scanf	("%[^\n]", &USERINPUT);

	
	if ( ( BINARYFILE = fopen(USERINPUT, "rb" ) ) == NULL)
		{
		printf( "Sorry! The file could not be opened\n" );
		} 
	else 
		{
		
		printf	("%s\n", USERINPUT);
		fscanf	(BINARYFILE, "%[^\n]", RECORD);

		while ( !feof(BINARYFILE)) 
			{
			printf	("%s\n", RECORD);
			fscanf	(BINARYFILE, "%s[^\n]", RECORD);
			}
	 
	  size_t i; 
	  count = fread(RECORD, sizeof *RECORD, sizeof RECORD / sizeof *RECORD, BINARYFILE);
 	  fclose(BINARYFILE);
      replace(RECORD, count);
      for ( i = 0; i < count; ++i )
      {
         printf("%g\n", RECORD[i]);
      }

		} 
	}
return(0);
}

In regard to the message -- go to the end of the file and press the return key, then save the file.

But do also visit the FAQ to find a better way to read strings. And also about not using feof for loop control. And why are you trying to read your binary file with fscanf?

Are you using C99 or C++?

I'm using 99! I added alittle more to see if I can get the value replaced...I'm still getting the same error!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

{

	void fileio (void);
   {
	
	char USERINPUT[100] 
	double RECORD[100];

	
	FILE *BINARYFILE;

	printf	("Enter a file to be opened?\n");
	scanf	("%d", &USERINPUT);

	
	if ( ( BINARYFILE = fopen(USERINPUT, "rb" ) ) == NULL)
		{
		printf( "Sorry! The file could not be opened\n" );
		} 
	else 
		{
		
		printf	("%s\n", USERINPUT);
		fscanf	(BINARYFILE, "%d", RECORD);

		while ( !feof(BINARYFILE)) 
			{
			printf	("%s\n", RECORD);
			fread	(BINARYFILE, "%d", RECORD);
			}

	void replace (RECORD[], char RECORD2[])
 {
  int i, j, length;
  i = -9999.0
  for (j=0;j<length; ++j)
    { 
     RECORD[j] = RECORD2[i];
     --i;
    }
   printf("%s\n", RECORD);
		}

	return (0); 
}

Is it really an "error", or just a "warning"?

Code:

   /* code */
	return (0); 
} <press the return key here, maybe twice for good measure, then save the file>

[edit]Wait, I see. Your indentation is horrible. [Newbs really ought to be required to learn indentation first.] This is that you have:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

{

   void fileio (void);
   {

      char USERINPUT[100]
      double RECORD[100];


      FILE *BINARYFILE;

      printf   ("Enter a file to be opened?\n");
      scanf ("%d", &USERINPUT);


      if ( ( BINARYFILE = fopen(USERINPUT, "rb" ) ) == NULL )
      {
         printf( "Sorry! The file could not be opened\n" );
      }
      else
      {

         printf   ("%s\n", USERINPUT);
         fscanf   (BINARYFILE, "%d", RECORD);

         while ( !feof(BINARYFILE) )
         {
            printf   ("%s\n", RECORD);
            fread (BINARYFILE, "%d", RECORD);
         }

         void replace (RECORD[], char RECORD2[])
         {
            int i, j, length;
            i = -9999.0
                for ( j=0;j<length; ++j )
                {
                   RECORD[j] = RECORD2[i];
                   --i;
                }
                printf("%s\n", RECORD);
         }

         return(0);
      }

Sorry this must be annoying!! I'm still getting the same error!

lab9.c:52:file does not end in a new line

Start with this shell.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void replace(double *array, size_t size)
{
   /* your code here */
}

iint main(void)
{
   FILE *file;
   /*
    * Get the filename.
    */
   char filename[100];
   fputs("filename? ", stdout);
   fflush(stdout);
   if ( fgets(filename, sizeof filename, stdin) != NULL )
   {
      char *newline = strchr(filename, '\n');
      if ( newline != NULL )
      {
         *newline = '\0';
      }
   }
   /*
    * Try to open the file.
    */
   file = fopen(filename, "rb");
   if ( file != NULL )
   {
      /*
       * Read the data into 'array'.
       */
      double array[10];
      size_t i, count;
      count = fread(array, sizeof *array, sizeof array / sizeof *array, file);
      fclose(file);
      /*
       * Do stuff.
       */
      replace(array, count);
      for ( i = 0; i < count; ++i )
      {
         printf("%g\n", array[i]);
      }
   }
   else
   {
      perror(filename);
   }
   return 0;
}

Gee, I wonder....

D'ya think going to the end of the code, pressing return and saving it would help.....
