Thread: Printing a pattern reminiscing a sin(x) wave

I have written the code below and I don't think there are any syntax errors, but it doesn't print out anything.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>


int main()
{
    int x = 0, a;


    while(x<=1)
    {
        x = x + 0.0175;
        a = sin(x);
        printf("%i", a);
        a = 1/a-20;
        for ( ; a>0; a--)
        {
            printf("*");
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

I'm sure it won't look nice even if it works, but for now, I just need to make it work.

I am required to get a result similar to this:

Why didn't you use

Code:

x += 0.0175;

instead

Because it is easier for me to understand as I wrote and it doesn't really change the outcome.

This worked! Thanks a lot.
