Thread: Problems

Can Anyone see whats worng with any of the three following pieces of code thanks

1.

Code:

void Display_Result(char dat)
{
      printf("the result is %X\n");
}

The parameter dat containing 'A' is passed to the function Display_Result and the printf rfunction produces 12FF80

2.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void main(void)
{
    printf("e=%f\n",exp(1));
}

When executed this programme produces e = 0.000000 instead of e= 2.718282

3.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

vois main (void
{
char input;

    printf ("Press a key: ");
    scanf("%c, input;

    printf("You pressed:%c\n",input);
}

When executed under windows XP, this programme causes a Misrosoft dialog box to open and report ....

test1.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

It the invites you to debug the prgramme or send an Error Report.

Thanks a mill for your help, this is an answer im looking for for exams, please help,

P.S i know some of it maybe in the wrong section but i wanted to keep it altogether.

Here's what I think:
1. You need to pass char dat to the function printf.
i.e. printf("the result is %X\n", dat);

2. I don't know.

3. You're missing a parentheses in your scanf line.

Cheers

ohh, and you need to pass an address to your scanf statement.
So, you need to pass &input instead of input.

Right?

1. You are missing the data you want to print, so it's printing some "rubbish" that happens to be in the location where your data SHOULD have been.

2. Try including "math.h", your exp() function is most likely returning a floating point number in a floating point register, but the compiler doesn't know this, so it's assuming the return value is an integer, which is returned in a general purpose register (EAX on x86).

3. You are passing the variable "input" into scanf, but scanf takes a pointer, so it's using "input" as a pointer, which is absolutely certain to not work.

Most of these problems would be detected by a good compiler if you enable "warnings".
