Thread: Coding for the PSP, but mainly C Programming help!

Hi guys, I'm new to C and new here hopeing I can be here more often. I came for help. I was wondering how to use variables but for text.

I tried doing this:

Code:

   char c = "You have just pressed";
*snip*
   if(pad.Buttons & PSP_CTRL_CROSS) {
        pspDebugScreenPrintf("&c cross.\n");
        }

and from my Cygwin output I get,
main.c: In function 'main':
main.c:50: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
main.c:52: warning: unused variable 'i'
main.c:51: warning: unused variable 'counter'
main.c:50: warning: unused variable 'c'
main.c:75:2: warning: no newline at end of file

Help please! Thanks in advance!

NOTE: I'm coding for a PSP but I hope thats fine with you guys, I just want to know how to use text in a variable so I don't have to keep typing the same thing over and over again.

const char *c = "You have just pressed";

or..

char c[] = "You have just pressed";

And how would I use it in my pspDebugScreenPrintf("&c cross.\n"); line? Do I use &c or %c?

Depends on the parameters you pass to that function. But if pspDebugScreenPrintf() is similar to printf, it will be:

Code:

pspDebugScreenPrintf("%s cross.\n", c);

Thanks guys, I got all the help I needed! Thank you!!
