Thread: A lil help Please

it helps to know how to read and under stand warnings and errors but I do not use code blocks anymore so I forget how they display theres,

Code:

gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -lm -o "term2" "term2.c" (in directory: /home/userx/bin)
term2.c: In function 'removeChar':
term2.c:9:20: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before ':' token
     char *src, *dst: 
                    ^

     for (src = dst =str; *src != '\0'; src++){
                          ^

     for (src = dst =str; *src != '\0'; src++){

                       ^
Compilation failed.

you code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
 
 
void removeChar(char *str, char garbage) {
 
 
    char *src, *dst: //< what the hell is that a colon or semi colon?,  hummm I wonder.
    
    
    for (src = dst =str; *src != '\0'; src++){
        *dst = src;
        if (*dst != garbage) dst++;
    }
    *dst = '\0';
}
int main(void)
{
char* str = malloc(strlen("HappyHolidays")+1);
    strcpy(str, "HappyHolidays");
    removeChar(str, 'H');
    printf("%s", str);
    free(str);
    return 0;
 
 
}

sometimes I even see my errors in the code after I post and look at it, getting a different perspective on it then wonder why I cannot just delete that mistake from my life.

here is another one of your mistakes

Code:

1
Write a function named remove()

what is your function called? Pay attention to details I am sure your instructor will mark you on it. I know I would.

I need a like button

I just capitalized it
Remove(char *string, ....)

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

/*
 * Write a function named remove() that deletes all occurrences of a character from a string.
 *  The function should take two arguments : the string name and the character to be removed. 
 * For example, if the message contains the string HappyHolidays, the function call remove(message, 'H')
 *  should place the string appyolidays into message.
 */
 

void Remove(char *string, char removeLetter)  
{
      char *src, *dst;
    for (src = dst = string; *src != '\0'; src++) {
        *dst = *src;
        if (*dst != removeLetter) dst++;
    }
    *dst = '\0';
 
}
int main(void)
{
    char string[100];
    char removeLetter;
    
    printf("Enter a string\n");    
    
    fgets(string, sizeof string, stdin);
    
    printf("Enter a letter within the same\n"
            "string you want removed\n");
    
    scanf(" %c", &removeLetter);
    
    Remove(string, removeLetter);
    
    printf("leftovers:: %s\n", string); 
        
   
return 0;
}

You have absolutley no idea. We had 15 chapters and we only covered 7, we were suppose to have 15 labs and we only had 7, and this garbage is from chapters we did not do at all or cover in any way. I'm basically screwed on my Final if I can't solve this for the 50pts.

I've also got two problems I have to solve before tomorrow we've never been taught. One has a file that we have to code to pull from a file

look at post 9 it is modified to make it more flexible.
edit
this was the only two mistakes in the code you posted

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
  
  
void removeChar(char *str, char garbage) {
  
  
    char *src, *dst; //< what the hell is that a colon or semi colon?,  hummm I wonder.
     
     
    for (src = dst =str; *src != '\0'; src++){
        *dst = *src; // missing pointer
        if (*dst != garbage) dst++;
    }
    *dst = '\0';
}
int main(void)
{
char* str = malloc(strlen("HappyHolidays")+1);
    strcpy(str, "HappyHolidays");
    removeChar(str, 'H');
    printf("%s\n", str);
    free(str);
    return 0;
  
  
}
