    C code need help???

    Hello everyone ploggar ..

    I have a task that I must accomplish the task in one week is like this.

    We want to create a long plank with the help of a number of smaller boards. there are three different thyper of boards, which has a length of 1.2 and 3 meters. there is an unlimited number of each type.

    I want to write a program that determines how many different ways you can achieve a plank of length n, 1 <n <24

    thanks / sven

    How would you solve it on paper? You have to know how to do that before you can write a program that does it.

    Saying the same thing twice is, at a point, annoying!! Do you mean you want us to build your code? That's not gonna happer!

    Here we help each other, but we must have some base code to see what you've tried so far and how we can help you. We need to know that you tried something, you know...

    I'd start with the 1.2 m board.
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge

    First of all, don't use the "Report Post" feature to say hi to people. It sends an email to a lot of people, and is really annoying unless it's to report something real. There are big red letters in simple language telling you not to use it for anything else, so I don't know how you failed to understand that.

    Second, you've been told multiple times to tell us what you have done so far. Let me be clear - no one is going to write the code for you. Tell us how you would work the problem on paper - without a computer program. What steps would you take? Can you reduce that to a set of instructions? Can you convert those instructions into C code?
