Help progaming

[fri3dric3boi]

I need help, i have to program that displays this output. Im kinda lost.



This program will draw and compute the area of a fence that you specify.

Please enter a width: 4
Please enter a height: 3

+----+
| |
| |
| |
+----+

Area = 12 Perimeter = 14

Would you like another fence? Y

Please enter a width: 1
Please enter a height: 1

+-+
| |
+-+

Area = 1 Perimeter = 4

Would you like another fence? y

Please enter a width: 2
Please enter a height: 0

+--+
+--+
Area = 0 Perimeter = 4

Would you like another fence? Y

Please enter a width: -2
Negative numbers are not allowed!
Please enter a width: 4
Please enter a height: -3
Negative numbers are not allowed!
Please enter a height: 1

+----+
| |
+----+

Area = 4 Perimeter = 10

Would you like another fence? N

Thank you for using Fence-o-matic, GoodBye!

the | are suppose to line up with the +

You may want to post your code, inside of code tags.

What's your question?

[fri3dric3boi]

how do i display this output

[fri3dric3boi]

im new to this c programing stuff. :\

[rags_to_riches]

The fact that you are new to C programming does not, by any stretch of the imagination, mean that we are going to take pity on you and do your homework for you. You realize that, right?

[Lesshardtofind]

Did you try programming it yet? Posted code can help us fix an error. If you haven't even coded then you might want to start here.

Cprogramming.com Tutorial: Introduction to C

And keep moving through the lessons until you know enough to start coding. Then repost when you having a working example. Oh and before you post your code make sure you read:

Welcome to C ;o). Hope you enjoy it.

[fri3dric3boi]

im not sure how i put the + at the corners of the square. any help? and like when i try to do the | going down it double itself. what did i do wrong?

[fri3dric3boi]

i think i got the width and height switched

[fri3dric3boi]

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main (void)
{
     int m;
	 int n;
	 int i;
	 int j;
	 int res1;
	 int res2;
     printf("Please enter a width:");
     scanf("%i",&n);
     printf("Please enter a height:");
     scanf("%i",&m);
	 printf("+");
     for (j=0; j<n; j++)  
         printf("-"); 
		 printf("+");
     printf("\n");
     i=0;
     while (i<m)
     {
          printf("|");
          for (j=0; j<n-2; j++) 
               printf("  ");
          printf("|\n");
          i++;
     }
	 printf("+");
     for (j=0;j<n;j++) 
          printf("-");
	 printf("+");
     printf("\n");
	 res1=m*j;
	 res2=m*2+j*2;
	 printf("Area= %d Perimeter = %d\n",res1,res2);
	 	system("pause");

}

ok i fixed it but its still doubling on the height
its coming out like
+----+

+----+
for width 4 and hieght 3.

>> not sure how i put the + at the corners of the square.
Draw it with just one character first, like '-'. Then realize that one of the dimensions (length or height) on both sides has a '+' on the ends of the line. Thus you have corners.

[fri3dric3boi]

i got the plus "+" in the corners but like on the height the | doubles in two.
so for height 3 it goes like this
+

That doesn't look that hard to write. Have you even tried doing it yourself?

[fri3dric3boi]

i did do it my self. thats all i got so far....
i need help the if else statements on how to put
like if you put a negative number itll pop up saying
"Negative numbers are not allowed!"
and repeating the question again
