Thread: chat simulation

If you're going to program C, you're going to need them.

The reason why i dont want to use pointers is because i have to do the program in a programming language called baci which is similar to c but is not c. It would be like c --, i figure out if i learn in c baci will be like a pice of cake.

And they don't have pointers in baci? Wow...

Ok, well look, this is a C forum. Not a baci forum. I can help you with C related stuff, and not baci (as I don't know this language and have no intention of learning it), and it's likely to be the same for all the other members.

So my best advice to you is to find some equivalent to pointers in baci...because C would be pretty lame if it didn't have pointers...

Can some one help me with this c programming code. Iam trying to pass the character array string from sever fuction to client function.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
	server();
	client();
	return 0;
}

void server(void)
	{
		char client1[]= "Hello"; //message from the server
	}	

void client(void)		
	{
		
		int i=1;
		
		printf("client 1  sends: %s\n", client1);
		for(i=2; i<10;i++) 
		printf("client %d receives: %s\n", i, client1);
	}

The scope of client1 is within the server function, therefore no other parts of your code can see it.

This:

Code:

int i = 1;
...
for (i = 2; i < 10; i++)

Could be more efficiently done as:

Code:

int i = 2;
...
for (i; i < 10; i++)

Or even more efficiently as

Code:

int i = 2;
...
for ( ; i < 10; i++)
