Thread: making rows in terms of columns?

Here is my code below. If I enter 2 for "How many rows question" and 9 for "How many values to be used question... I get the following result...

Code:

1     3      5     7     9
2     4      6     8

Now, the code does what I want but I'm asking how many rows the user wants.

I want the user to be able to enter in how many columns he wants instead of how many rows rows (but I want the same result as before) how would I go about doing it?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int func_col(int, int);

int main()
{
	int q, a, b, c, x, row, max_value;

	printf("How many rows? ");
	scanf(" %d", &row);

	printf("How many values to be used? ");
	scanf(" %d", & max_value);
		
	q = func_col(max_value, row);
	
	for(b=1, c=0; c<row; c++)
	{
		x=b;
		for(a=0; a<q+1; a++)
		{
			if(x<max_value+1)
				printf("%d\t", x);
			
			x+=row;
		}
		b++;
		printf("\n");
	}
}

int func_col(int max_value, int row) 
{
	if(row<5)
		return(max_value / row);
	else
		return((max_value / row)+1); 
}

Something like below?
I rewrote it and used other names for the variables.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int calcRows( int cols, int maxVal );

int main( )
{
    int columns, rows, maxValue, startValue=1, incrementValue;

    printf( "How many columns? " );
    scanf( " %d", &columns );

    printf( "How many values to be used? " );
    scanf( " %d", & maxValue );

    rows = calcRows( columns, maxValue );

    for( int i=0; i<rows; i++ )
    {	
        incrementValue = startValue;

        for(int j=0; j<=columns; j++)
        {
            if( incrementValue <= maxValue )
            printf( "%d\t", incrementValue );
    		
            incrementValue += rows;
        }
        startValue++;
        printf( "\n" );
    }

    return 0;
}

int calcRows( int cols, int maxVal ){
    if( maxVal%cols == 0 )
        return 	maxVal/cols;
    else
        return 	maxVal/cols + 1;
}

sorry for late reply, but thanks! it works the way iwanted.
