Hello everyone, sorry I had to make a new thread, but I could not edit the last, and special thanks goes to Salem who showed me how to properly output the code on here.
Question 1: When the lengtharr[thisidx] is being initialized, does that make thisidx equal to zero or its just a first element?Code:#include <stdio.h> #define MAXWORDLEN 10 int main(void) { int c; int inspace = 0; long lengtharr[MAXWORDLEN + 1]; int wordlen = 0; int firstletter = 1; long thisval = 0; long maxval = 0; int thisidx = 0; int done = 0; for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= MAXWORDLEN; thisidx++) { lengtharr[thisidx] = 0; } while(done == 0) { c = getchar(); if(c == ' ' || c == '\t' || c == '\n' || c == EOF) { if(inspace == 0) { firstletter = 0; inspace = 1; if(wordlen <= MAXWORDLEN) { if(wordlen > 0) { thisval = ++lengtharr[wordlen - 1]; if(thisval > maxval) { maxval = thisval; } } } else { thisval = ++lengtharr[MAXWORDLEN]; if(thisval > maxval) { maxval = thisval; } } } if(c == EOF) { done = 1; } } else { if(inspace == 1 || firstletter == 1) { wordlen = 0; firstletter = 0; inspace = 0; } ++wordlen; } } for(thisval = maxval; thisval > 0; thisval--) { printf("%4d | ", thisval); for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= MAXWORDLEN; thisidx++) { if(lengtharr[thisidx] >= thisval) { printf("* "); } else { printf(" "); } } printf("\n"); } printf(" +"); for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= MAXWORDLEN; thisidx++) { printf("---"); } printf("\n "); for(thisidx = 0; thisidx < MAXWORDLEN; thisidx++) { printf("%2d ", thisidx + 1); } printf(">%d\n", MAXWORDLEN); getch(); return 0; }
Question 2: Which part stores the word count in the array or is it being store at all?
Question 3: what doesCode:thisval = ++lengtharr[MAXWORDLEN];
do, does it adds an element or what?
The output of the code is on The C Programming Language Exercise 1-13
Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time in reading this lengthy post.
