Thread: file input program

A loop is certainly what you need, not a for-loop though. Why don't you show us your code, the one you tried to expand to read the whole file but failed, we may be able to assist.

Of course it is, but it won't function as a for-loop. For example:

Code:

for (; fscanf(infile, "%d", &amount) == 1;) {
    // Read following numbers
}

I hardly think instructors give out imposable assignments, rather they give out assignments that require deep thought at times in order to get the assignment to work, so he or she can see how your brain works, and perhaps help you to develop it to work properly in the contexts of logical thought.

logic boards ( logic flow), that is a big part of programming. if I do this and that happens now what do I do, but if something different happens what do I do then? logic.

along with,
what steps are needed to take place before execution of program, then what steps are needed to be preformed during execution of program,then what steps need to take place in order for execution of program to be completed? which bleeds back to the second part, and can be considered redundant.

then break that down into functions, where it applies. blocks of code that do something then turn it into a function so it completes a step that needs to take place within your program.

look at what you got to work with, functions in headers ( api ) to see what they do and what is the return value of the function. Study other peoples code and see what they did and how they did it. It is like listening to other peoples music and then drawing from that to write your own music.

how to put on my shoes and socks.

what data types do I need to do that?

struct socks;
struct shoes;

( then they build on that struct and made it into a class, adding its own functions to go with the data types) but still either way it now can be any type of sock and shoe. (ie, shoes color: brown, black, blue. shoes size, big, small, really small: socks type: argyle, sports, ankle socks, socks color, blue, yellow, black, advanced programming)

What steps are needed to take place in order for that to be competed, and in what order do they need to be executed before I can move on to the next step and end up with a proper put on set of socks and shoes on my feet line of applied thought?
