Thread: Float Values

Hey guys i know this is kind of a newbie question but Ive finished all my code. I just want to know how I can change it so that it only deals with float values. I mean so that my program will return the smaller of the two float values without conversion. any help would be great.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int my_min(int, int);



int main(void)

{

    int number1, number2;



    printf("Enter a pair of integers (q to quit):\n");

    while (scanf("%d %d", &number1, &number2) == 2)

    {

        printf("The lesser of %d and %d is %d.\n",

            number1, number2, my_min(number1,number2));

        printf("Enter a pair of integers (q to quit):\n");

    }

    printf("Bye.\n");



    return 0;

}



int my_min(int x,int y)

{

    int min;



    if (x < y)

        min = x;

    else

        min = y;



    return min;

}

this was my teachers question too in case this can help.

Devise a function my_min(x,y) that returns the smaller of two float values, and test the function with a driver. The driver should prompt the user for input and then display the value returned by the my_min() function.

What have you tried?

well i tried declaring where i had the integers at the top as floats but then that just screwed up like my whole numbering system lol. So now im pretty much stuck..

so like:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int my_min(int, int);



int main(void)

{

    flat number1, number2;



    printf("Enter a pair of integers (q to quit):\n");

    while (scanf("%0.0f %0.0f", &number1, &number2) == 2)

    {

        printf("The lesser of %0.0f and %0.0f is %0.0f.\n",

            number1, number2, my_min(number1,number2));

        printf("Enter a pair of integers (q to quit):\n");

    }

    printf("Bye.\n");



    return 0;

}



int my_min(int x,int y)

{

    int min;



    if (x < y)

        min = x;

    else

        min = y;



    return min;

}

thanks alot guys finally got it working.......I know my newbie antics can ........ people off sometimes... but thanks a lot
