Nice post 00Sven...

The other thing I didn't understand in the original post is why the <math.h> file was needed. I didn't see any calculations or math functions that were out of the ordinary.

Uninstall Dev C++ and reinstall it. I started out with that IDE and never recall having to do *anything* with a path outside of the IDE. In fact, I have been using it for several months, and don't...

Bubba,

Good tip...

I just learned about function prototypes last week. I guess I knew about them for quite some time, but didn't know what they really were. But I can see how they would really...

I don't know the code, but can't you read the string until char = '.' - 1 (one char short of the . char)? Maybe use strcpy() and write that to a buffer of sorts, and there's your first string. Then...

LMAO...I have that book. I always thought that "Teach yourself C in 21 WEEKS" would have been a more appropriate title.

21 days? I think not.

Thanks.

And thanks for the link--I had NOT seen it, and appreciate it very much.

Thanks OnionKnight...

I was responding to another post when you posted. That clarified it for me.

Ok...so passing a value to a function basically negates the need to declare any such variable in that receiving function--even though that might be the first use of 'a' or whatever else you tell it...

Guys,

I have a question or two about the following code segment that I hope someone will answer. This was part of a source code file provided on the CD, so I did not pick the variables.

I am using the MinGW application, so if you are not then please disregard the following.

I don't know whether you have done this or not but, go into the control panel and click on the 'system'...

Salem,

Re: fflush(stdin);

I got that from the C-programming course I have been taking; all the projects seem to use the fflush() function to flush the newline character prior to using scanf()...

Well, I am just learning C myself and do not know much at all about pointers. But I do know a little bit about char arrays, and just figured out that the problem with your code had something to do...

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
char days[7][20];
int day;

printf("\nPlease enter the days of the week: \n\n");
for(day=0; day<7; ++day)
{

Thank you Dante...nice link!

TB

It works great if you only enter 1, 2 or 3 characters in for each day. But as soon as you enter four or more characters things go haywire.

Interesting.

EDIT: Here you go...make it a...

I used the C source code above; neither example compiles. And I think the file I used was simply in the file path File:New:Source File (Ctrl+N). I don't think I actually created a project because I...

As Dante mentioned above, if you open a console project and use them, it works just fine. But I wasn't using the console project until now. So I guess I need to go investigate the different project...

No, that's not the problem...lol.

I edited the above code incorrectly, and forgot to close the comments. My mistake. I assure you, it was correct in my source code before I posted it, then I...

I found this book:

"C Programming," by Mike McGrath, for $10 at Barnes & Noble. While I have several other C books, I find myself finding quick answers to those little questions that pop up. It...

I have been trying to learn C via self-study. I have been reading this forum for a couple months now and have purchased a couple books on C, as well as a training course on CD. I have Dev C++...
