anyone can help me !!

The table below shows the normal boiling points of several substances. Write a program that prompts the user for the observed boiling point of a substance in °C and identifies the substance if the observed boiling point is within 5% of the expected boiling point. If the data input is more than5% higher or lower than any of the boiling points in the table, the program should output the message substance unknown.

Substance Normal boiling point (°C)
Water 100
Mercury 357
Copper 1187
Silver 2193
Gold 2660

Your program should define and call a function within_x_percent that takes as parameters a reference value ref, a data value data, and a percentage value x and returns 1 meaning true if data is within x% of ref-that is (ref – x% * ref) ≤ data ≤ (ref + x % * ref). Otherwise within_x_percent would return zero, meaning false. For example, the call within_x_percent(357, 323, 10) would return true, since 10% of 357 id 35.7, and 323 falls between 321.3 and 392.7.
Follow these instructions:
• Create a text file (by any tool) name it (comp142.txt) that contains the second column of the above table.
• Let the program read from the created file the values of the variables in the first column of the above table.
• Write the function within_x_percent described above.
• Test your program using the following data
1187 1100 10
1187 1100 5

how i can build this program
thanks

You can build it by learning C. No one is going to code this for you - and expecting us to do so is explicitly against the forum rules you agreed to when you signed up. However, this is a very simple program, and if you just googled for a C tutorial, I think you would be able to write this program within a few hours. When you get stuck with a specific part of the program and have a specific question and some of your own work to show us, we'd be happy to help you with it.

I do this program
How did you see this ?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int within_x_percent(double , double, double);
int main()
{
char a[10];
int i ;
int flag = 0;
FILE *inp ;
inp = fopen("data.txt","r");
int x;
printf("please enter the value to detrmine the material :\n");
scanf("%d",&x);
while(fscanf(inp,"%s%d",a,&i)!= EOF){
if (within_x_percent(i,x,10) == 1 ){
flag = 1 ;
break ;
}
}
if (flag == 1){
printf("the material is %s \n",a);}
else
printf("the material doesn't exist\n");

return 0;
}

int within_x_percent( double data,double ref, double x)
{
if (((ref - ( x*0.01)*ref) <= data) && ( data <= (ref + (x*0.01) * ref)))
{
return 1 ;
}
else
return 0 ;
}

No, you FOUND it here...liar.

If you really did write that code, you should have no problem completing the assignment. So, what's your problem? What do you expect us to tell you?

If you really did steal someone else code in an attempt to cheat in your class and deceive us into helping you, then you are pathetic. If you took the time you've already spent avoiding doing the assignment and used it to learn C instead, you'd probably be done by now. Remember that a lot of us are professional programmers - and we have no interest in helping a dishonest, lazy and incompetent person get any kind of certification that they can program. We don't want to work with such a person.

I'm closing this thread. Feel free to open another one when you've learnt some C, gotten some ethics, and have a real problem that we can help you with.
