printf( "Please enter your age" ); /* Asks for age */
scanf( "%d", &age ); /* The input is put in age */
if ( age < 100 ) { /* If the age is less than 100 */
printf ("You are pretty young!\n" ); /* Just to show you it works... */
}
else if ( age == 100 ) { /* I use else just to show an example */
printf( "You are old\n" );
}
else {
printf( "You are really old\n" ); /* Executed if no other statement is
*/
}
return 0;
}
Is this your problem?
Hope this helps:Quote:

read num
add num to sum
increment count
}
average = sum/count
print average
i actually remembered another way i was shown, that works on mine:
at end of code
getch ();
return0;
but could you help on the averaging question?
Hey,
Enter your code within a while loop. You are getting only one age as input.
insert this while loop.
total = 0;
count = 0;
do
{
//your code here.
count ++;
total += age;
printf("Do you want to continue(y/n) :");
res = getc()
}while( res == 'y' )
average = total / count;

Read post#5 above and see the external link as well.Quote:

HWJR?
How would Jesus ROCK? HAHAHA You guys crack me up.
When you're not creeping me out that is.
Quzah.
What I don't get: how's the code copied and pasted from a tutorial related to your problems? What does a program that decides if a person is pretty yound, old or very old have to do with averaging input?
People like it if you show your efforts, not just any piece of code you can find.
they were 2 seperate questions, i just didnt want to make another thread.
The way to approach this, and certainly more taxing programs, is to think how would you get the average of a sequence of numbers? Add up all the numbers, and divide by the number of 'em, right? So,
That's not real C, obviously, but it puts you in the thinking mode about how to accomplish the task. (as #7 said!!!)Code:int NumOfNumbers = 0;
int Total = 0;
while ( You still wish to add numbers )
{
print - "do you want to add more numbers";
get - answer
if ( yes )
{
NumOfNumbers++;
Get the number;
Number += The Gotten Number;
}
}
if ( NumOfNumbers isn't 0 )
{
average = Number/NumberOfNumbers;
}
