Thread: Beginner Requiring a little help

I'll do the first one for you (just because this sounds a lot like homework):

It returns a pointer to a long, and takes a integer "num" and an integere array "i" as arguments.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat....

Not sure exactly what you're trying to say. This is basicly how the function would be used:

Code:

long *all_long( int num, long i[] )
{
    int x;

    for( x = 0; x < num; x++ )
    {
        /** if the value of i[x] is some random value, return its location **/
        if( i[x] == 20 ) return &i[x];
    }
    return NULL;
}

Basicly, return the address of this variable...

Anyway, that's one way it could be used. Usually, when you see an array and a number as an argument, the number specifies how long the array is, so you don't run out of bounds when using it.

Quzah.

these are prototypes (when first declared before program main)

void many_args(char *s, int[], double f);

int main()
{
char name[]={"chugly unt"}; //a string
int num[10]; //array of 10 numbers
double float[10]; //array of 10 doubles

while(num !=10) //start a loop
{
many_args(name, num,float); //the function call this will pass the args as long as they are of the correct data type

num++;
}
}//end main
void many_args(char *s, int[], double f)
{
//now you can manipulate the arguments in the function at your will

}

This is my interpretation any how, hope it helps and doesn't confuse.
by the way this looks like a computeach question is it?

No sweat matt we hsould all try and stick together,
due to the fact that the coarse dosen't help you out with that much detail.
you can contact me at [email protected]

....have you seen the unoficial computeach site yet?
...It's not a brilliant aid, but a good laugh!, it does help to have peeps that know what you are asking about though.

by the way what stage r u on?
what C&G are doing 4240 or the 4250?

i'm on stage 4 now ready for the prog prep date(should be fun ( NOT))

here's a link to the web site i mentioned earlier
