    Unhappy Help - New kid on the block

    I recently completed Teach Yourself C in 21 days, done exercises on the book, but now I need to have some kind of test to see if i will be able to apply my basic C to real environmnet. Do any of you out there have simple sample spec's for me to try out? I will appreciate any advice if available.

    There's a quiz attached to this site (see front page), a few contest sites around that will give you problems to solve ( here's a link to one), or Brainbench has a free C test you can take.

    Well, i have a little project for you. It might not be that hard though. Ok, I'll give you an output and you have to write the program code.


    Question is:
    1. This program will read a float and a character for each scanf(). The character could be d for deposit or w for withdrawal. Starting with a balance of zero, add the deposits and subtract the withdrawals until the balance becomes negative. Then print by how much the balance went negative.
    Consider the output from the following data:

    -------output-------
    100.0 d
    20.0 d
    60.0 w
    200.0 w
    Your account now is -140.00 dollars.


    Hint:
    You can use if/else statement or do/while statement.

    Enjoy!!!!
