Need help.

[Noct]

Hello guys,

I'm a C beginner, trying to teach myself the language, but I'm currently struggling with a code.


I was wondering if I could get some assistance.

* I want the code to ask for a number of students.
* The number of students will represent the size of the loop that I need.
* During the loop, the console will ask the user for a name and a number of tests.
* It should get the name and number of test.
* Then, a loop should come in and add up the sum of all test by that student and compute the average.
* The console should output the name of the student and average.


I have all the logic down I'm just having trouble translating the code from VB.NET. The syntax is completely different and I'm still learning the basics of C.

I was wondering if I could obtain some help writing that code.

Thanks in advance.

You can save yourself a LOT of time, by first running through the C tutorial linked to the C Tutorial tab, at the top dead center of the website. It will answer a HUGE number of questions you will have. Be ready to take notes, as well, for future reference.

As soon as you're ready with a start to your program code, if/when you get stuck, by all means, post up your code (always using code tags around your code), and tell us what the problem is.

We're very helpful, but it's up to you to make that start on your code.

And Welcome to the forum, Noct!

This can be done using a printf/puts & scanf

A for loop looks different, but behaves similar to the VB format
Instead of:

' VB
dim intCount As Integer
For intCount = 10 To 1 Step -1
    'Statements in body of loop
Next intCount

/* C */
int count;
for (count = 10; count >= 1; count = count - 1)
{
    /* Statements in body of loop */
}
