OK, so this is my code
And I try to enter in a number, say 442342. Then my program should print out the second number in 442342, which is 4, but it prints out a random number that has like 6 digits.Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { int number[21]; printf("Hi "); scanf("%d", &number); printf("%d", number[1]); printf("\n\n"); system("pause"); return(0); }
This works with char arrays, but I dunno why it doesn't with int arrays. Can someone help me out? Thanks!

Float does not have a "length" in characters, so the whole thing is read into the first array part.
Do you understand what float is? This doesn't seem to be the right place to use it.
Try:
This reads the data into chars. Hmm, scanf doesn't check for buffer overloading.Code:#include <iostream> int main(){ char n[256]; scanf ("%s",&n); printf("%c",n[1]); system("PAUSE"); return 0; }

Well from what I've learned in class float is a decimal number ...Originally Posted by maxorator
And I've tried using int, same problem. It always prints out the number "2", ...
It reads everything to the first part of array as I said.
You can't read it as a number if you want them to be separated.

Oki if you read a int foo in into an array of ints it will be stored in the first position ofthe array. You would need to input digit by digit in a for loop to get your desisred result. Thou Ive used a different approach, I will post the code with no comments so you can read and try to figure it out. I like to leanr by examples so don't throw rocks on my cause I'm "doing" his homework:
All those functions are well explained and commented in the C Programming Language by K&R I would strongly suggest you read it. The basic idea is get an int, transfor it to a char where you can access the nth element wich is the nth digit and print it. Hope it helps.Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> void itoa(int n, char s[]); void reverse(char s[]); void reverse(char s[]) { int c, i, j; for (i = 0, j = strlen(s)-1; i<j; i++, j--){ c = s[i]; s[i] = s[j]; s[j] = c; } } void itoa(int n, char s[]) { int i, sign; if ((sign = n) < 0) n = -n; i = 0; do { s[i++] = n % 10 + '0'; } while ((n /= 10) > 0); if (sign < 0) s[i++] = '-'; s[i] = '\0'; reverse(s); } int main() { int number; char cnumber[256]; scanf("%d",&number); itoa(number,cnumber); printf("%c",cnumber[2]); return 0; }
This reverses the numbers and keeps it as an integer:
This is the same thing only to this you can pass a pointer:Code:int reverseDigits(int number){ string streamer; char buffer[256],data[256]; stringstream ssin(streamer, ios_base::out); ssin<<number; strcpy(buffer,ssin.str().c_str()); int len=strlen(buffer); for(int i=0;i<len;i++){ data[len-1-i]=buffer[i]; } stringstream ssout(data); ssout>>number; return number; }
Code:int reverseDigits(int *number){ string streamer; char buffer[256],data[256]; stringstream ssin(streamer, ios_base::out); ssin<<*number; strcpy(buffer,ssin.str().c_str()); int len=strlen(buffer); for(int i=0;i<len;i++){ data[len-1-i]=buffer[i]; } stringstream ssout(data); ssout>>*number; return 0; }

output:Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char number[BUFSIZ]; puts("enter text:\n "); fgets( number , sizeof number , stdin ); printf ( " your number is : %s\n" , number ); getchar(); return 0; }
Code:enter text: 1234 your number is : 1234
@mrsirpoopsalot: Not quite the same.
OP, the only thing you really need to do here is pay attention to your array indices. &number is a pointer to a pointer, not a pointer to an int; &number[1] is empty, so you get whatever might be in the memory - or not.
Code:#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int number[21]; printf("Hi "); scanf("%d", &number[0]); printf("The number is %d\n", number[0]); /* system("pause"); sucks */ return(0); }
