I need to write a program that counts in Hex to an unsecified number and writes to a file the number it is on when it counts, but I need it to skip 3 and 6.
I am confused as hell I cannot find such a thing in any of the books I have gotten.
Could someone help me and also recomend a good C book that is easy enough for an intermediate person to learn(all the books I find are either for beginer or advanced).
Thank you.
initialize a pointer *num to the data that you want to count and write, and use the following two statements to skip 3 and 6....
if(*num == 3 || *num == 6)
num++;
thank you

You'll find book recommendations, a LOT of them, in a sticky in the C Programming forum.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'counts in Hex'. All values are stored in binary, and are normally converted to decimal for output, but you can also 'convert' or interpret the value as Hex or Octal. Using printf() %o is for octal, and %x is for hex. Any C book would cover this as well as opening and reading from and writing to files.
To skip 3 and 6 the logical expression would be ( value != 3 && value != 6 ), where value is some variable representing whatever it is you're counting.
