    for loop counter problem

    When i enter the Total No of Student: 2
    It will appear as 3 students on the for loop.

    How to fix this?
    thank you.


    Code:
    void main()
    {
         char code[15], name[15], grade;
         int student, A=0, B=0, C=0, F=0, y=1, x, i=0;
         float midterm, final, total, quizm, assignment;
         
         printf("\nEnter Subject Code : ");
         gets(code);
         printf("Enter Subject Name : ");
         gets(name);
    	 printf("Enter Total No of Student : ");
         scanf("%d",&student);
    	
         
         for(i=0; i<=student; i++);
         {
               printf("\n------------------------------------");
               printf("\n          STUDENT %d                ", i);
               printf("\n------------------------------------");
    }
    }

    }
    }
    You enter the total number of students as variable "student" but in the for loop you are printing the variable "i"(and think that it'll give the total number of students).

    The problem is that you set i to 0 and then continue up until the number of students. Let's say the number of students is 2 that means i will become 0, 1, 2.
    If you want i to become 1 and 2, start with "i = 1" in stead of "i = 0". If youwant i to become 0 and 1, do "i < students" in stead of "i <= students".

    Whatever you prefer.

    By the way don't use void main, it has a return type int and also don't use gets to input strings.
    For both of the above see the FAQ
