    ı need help

    Write a program that only uses getchar() for input, and can input a double number. You can use printf() to print the integer and confirm it was read in correctly. Assume the number is positive.


    ı just started c.I have no idea how to solve this problem.Is there any help with this question?

    It sounds like your instructions are contradictory: you are told "can input a double number" and also "print the integer and confirm it was read in correctly". So, is the input in the format of a double or an integer? Check with your instructor.

    If your instructor says double, then also check what exactly is the format as double allows for scientific notation. I would guess it would only be a simple sequence of digits, decimal point, then more digits.

If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Yes, start by writing a getchar() loop which prints a message depending on whether the input character is '0' to '9' (good) or anything else (bad).

    Not until you post some effort of your own.

    We're guides for your journey to be a programmer, not mules to carry you.
    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.

    If you want to cheat on your homework assignment, why don't you just google "c language getchar()"?

    Involving us just seems like not learning with more steps.
