    This is not a delivery service. You post here your attempts, and we critique it and help you fix it.
    1. Get rid of gets(). Never ever ever use it again. Replace it with fgets() and use that instead.
    2. Get rid of void main and replace it with int main(void) and return 0 at the end of the function.
    3. Get rid of conio.h and other antiquated DOS crap headers.
    4. Don't cast the return value of malloc, even if you always always always make sure that stdlib.h is included.

    You don't have to post specifications here, you already posted those. What you need to post here is the program you have written in respect to this problem, what works what doesn't work, and what issues you are having.

    Also what you posted is an exam! Many people here will refuse to help you on that, including myself. If you needed help you should have posted here before taking the exam. An exam is a totally different story than homework and should be done individually.

    Start by figuring out on paper how you would solve the problem. Describe the steps you would take to get the output you want.
    1. Get rid of gets(). Never ever ever use it again. Replace it with fgets() and use that instead.
    2. Get rid of void main and replace it with int main(void) and return 0 at the end of the function.
    3. Get rid of conio.h and other antiquated DOS crap headers.
    4. Don't cast the return value of malloc, even if you always always always make sure that stdlib.h is included.

    because it's funny watching them get shot down once they realize they aren't going to have it handed to them.

    you did a fine job, by the way.

    keep it up :-)

    Thanks. I have nothing against helping them but they need to get their stuff together (I am being very PG-13 here). It's one thing getting help on homework, but it's totally different posting your take home exam here. That's just ludicrous. The person could end up to be your co-worker one day.

    One of the things that I have loved about being a programmer is the fact that you get to think for yourself and use your brains to solve problem. Laziness of thought is one of the few things I look down on. Also I work hard for a living and when people are too lazy to think for him or her self, and just post their assignment and say "give me code to do this" just says they value my time very little. Posting the exam is a first for me though...

    It may be that there are bad instructors out there but some of the stories they use to sell their need for "urgent" help are truly ridiculous. The better programmer will try to apply themselves before begging for help.

    And as for someone being my corworker someday, I would fear for the poster of such things as their is a chance that they will be *my* coworker and I will remember this attempt to cheat or circumvent the system.

    All schoolwork solicitors be advised: cheaters are not tolerated here.

    the original poster, "ibrahim ercan" aka "agathery", has left a trail long and wide enough to be easily reported to the Dean of his college, as well as all Professors who teach this class. They have in fact been notified and made aware of this thread.
