    How to update value

    How to update array value in program

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main ()
    {
       int i, input;
    
       int array[5] = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };
       printf ("Enter input\n");
       scanf ("%d", &input);
    
      if (input > 0 && input < 5)
        // array value depend on input
        // input is 1 then 10 become 5
        // update array =  5, 20, 30, 40, 50
       // input is 3 then 30 become 15
        // update array =  5, 20, 15, 40, 50

    So have you figured out the relationship between 10 and 5, or between 30 and 15 ?

    What about the relationship between the number you input (say 3), and the subscript for the value you intend to modify?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    new value is half of original value

    first list 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
    say input is 1

    first list 5, 20, 30, 40, 50

    say input is 4
    first list 5, 20, 30, 20, 50

    I don't understand how to update new value in array ?

    You mean you've never assigned a value to an array element before?

    array[i] = array[i] + 1;

    Now do what you want to do.

    .


    five integer stored into array

    int array[5] = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 }

    Ask the user which value they want to half
    input number 1 to 5

    let say input is 2 : 20

    print the array with new value

    int array[5] = { 10, 10, 30, 40, 50 }

    where 10 is half value of 20
