Is there any way to have more than one input on a single line?

[PYROMANIAC702]

I don't mean my line of code. In the program I enter one number and then it goes to a new line. I want a way around this if possible. (Very new to C)

You mean to type more than one thing and then hit enter?

1 2 3<enter>

Sure, scanf will let you set up formatted input. Your book should be covering that soon.

It's probably not impossible but if you show us your code it will be easier to say how.

If by "it goes to a new line" you mean because the user had to hit enter, then you will probably need to use some special terminal library for this; also let us know what OS you are using.

quzah, it is for an assignment for a class I'm taking. The assignment does not specify if this is needed, I just prefer it. So, if you could, please elaborate?

[PYROMANIAC702]

MK27, here's my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "genlib.h"
#include "simpio.h"

main()
{
      int num1, num2, num3, num4, sum, average;
      
      printf ("Your grades were: ");
      num1 = GetInteger();
      num2 = GetInteger();
      num3 = GetInteger();
      num4 = GetInteger();
      sum = num1 + num2 + num3 + num4;
      average = sum / 4;
      printf ("The average grade is %d", average);
      getchar();
      }

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.

Hmm, so do you mean the problem quzah pointed out (that the user has to enter the grades one by one)?

We also need to see the GetInteger() function, probably you want to use some combination of scanf() and sscanf() and return a pointer to an int array, or fill in an array submitted as an argument:

int *GetInteger();  // returns pointer to malloc'd array
void GetInteger (int *data);  // fills in submitted array

You are speaking a whole different language to me man... But thanks for your help! I honestly appreciate it.

[ssharish2005]

Yeah the easy way to do this using scanf function. By the time your class cover scanf function. It would look something like this

scanf("%d %d %d %d", &num1, &num2, &num3, &num4);

Also:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "genlib.h"
#include "simpio.h"

int main(void)
{
........
     return (0);
}

Note the declaration of main and the return value. The main function returns an int to the system, this is required to be C99 compliant. Some suggested reading:
