Infinite Loop

Hi,
I have been busy trying out a program which emulates the basic functions of a cell( well presently only one basic function:tongue:) but i have run into a hitch. The program doesn't display my output! and i don't understand why, any help is appreciated

Code:

O_o

An offhand guess says that you aren't ever actually calling any routines which dump any output.

Soma

don't call srand() more than once. only the last call will have an effect anyway. also, your formatting could use some work. try to be consistent with bracket placement and indentation.

Use srand like this:

Code:

---

srand(time(0));

---

That's all.
Make sure you leave that at the top of your main so it will only be called once.

Please look up and learn about nice indentation of code. The compiler may not care too much about where whitespace goes, but we do! We need to be able to read it very easily. If it's at all difficult to read, some percentage of readers will just not bother trying to help.
