Thread: progress since Feb 2018

Well, i've finished my 3rd book, not quite ready for K&R plus I don't have the $40 right now to purchase it. I am using Google Books app and using clang on FreeBSD 11, haven't dipped into Windows Dev yet but I have tried Code::Blocks at the library on a USB. I am ssh'ing into my FreeBSD vps and doing all the compiling in terminal.

I've started answering a chapter of questions after not writing much code over the summer, just re-reading a bunch of material. The code below are two quiz questions (Lesson 8 out of "SAMS Teach Yourself C Programming in 24 hours a Day by Bradley L. Jones., blue cover text) I've also read & completed The C Book - Table of Contents

I was able to successfully answer all the questions in this chapter of the text, something that would have been daunting a few months back.

Code:

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

int random_array[1000];
int a, b;

long total;

int main(void)
{
    srand(time(NULL));

    for(a=0;a<1000;a++)
    {
        random_array[a] = rand();
        total += random_array[a];
    }

    printf("Average of 1000 arrays: %ld", total/1000);

    for(a=0;a<1000;a++)
    {
        if(a%10 == 0)
        {
            printf("\nPress ENTER to continue or Ctrl+C to quit...\n");
            getchar();
            continue;
        }
        printf("\nrandom_array[%d] = ", a);
        printf("%d", random_array[a]);
    }

    return 0;
}

And the second quiz I completed successfully

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int a;
int my_array[10];
int my_new_array[10];
int complete;

int main()
{
    for(a=0;a<10;a++)
    {
        my_array[a] = a;
    }

    for(a=0;a<10;a++)
    {
        printf("my_array[%d] = %d\n", a, my_array[a]);
    }

    printf("\nNow....copy values to new array and add 10 to each value...");
    getchar();

    for(a=0;a<10;a++)
    {
        my_array[a] = my_new_array[a+10];
        printf("\nmy_new_array[%d]", a+10);
    }

    return 0;
}
