    Questions ab an answer...

    i don't have an answer key or anything for this textbook, but did i get this correct?

    #7- Rearrange the square3.c program so that the FOR loop initializes 'i', tests 'i', and increments 'i'. Don't rewrite the program; in particular, don't use any multiplications.

    Code:
    * SEC6.3 EX7      */
    /* DATE: 08-08-02  */
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	int i, n, odd, square;
    
    	printf("This program prints a table of squares.\n");
    	printf("Enter number of entries in table: ");
    	scanf("%d", &n);
    	
    	square = 1;
    	odd = 3;
    	for (i = 1; i <= n; odd+= 2) {
    		printf("%10d%10d\n", i, square);
    		++i;
    		square += odd;
    	}
    
    	return 0;
    }
    ...and here's my code from the square3.c program:

    Code:
    /* Prints a table of squares using an old method */
    /* DATE: 07-24-02								 */
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	int i, n, odd, square;
    
    	printf("This program prints a table of squares.\n");
    	printf("Enter number of entries in table: ");
    	scanf("%d", &n);
    
    	i = 1;
    	odd = 3;
    	for (square = 1; i <= n; odd+= 2) {
    		printf("%10d%10d\n", i, square);
    		++i;
    		square += odd;
    	}
    
    	return 0;
    }

    I'd say you need to have another go

    Look at this part of the question:
    ... so that the FOR loop initializes 'i', tests 'i', and increments 'i'.
    This says to me that you need a for statement that looks like this
    Code:
    for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
    ... and the appropriate code moved around to make this work.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    >for (i = 1; i <= n; odd+= 2) {
    Simple enough, look into the usage of the comma operator and throw the increment for i into the loop.

    My best code is written with the delete key.

    would this be correct? :
    Code:
    /* SEC6.3 EX7      */
    /* DATE: 08-09-02  */
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	int i, n, odd, square;
    
    	printf("This program prints a table of squares.\n");
    	printf("Enter number of entries in table: ");
    	scanf("%d", &n);
    	
    	square = 1; 
    	odd = 3;
    	for (i = 1; i <= n; i++, odd+= 2) {
    		printf("%10d%10d\n", i, square);
    		square += odd;
    	}
    
    	return 0;
    }

    Question

    /* DATE: 08-09-02 */

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
    {
    int i, n, odd, square;

    printf("This program prints a table of squares.\n");
    printf("Enter number of entries in table: ");
    scanf("%d", &n);

    square = 1;
    odd = 3;
    for (i = 1; i <= n; i++, odd+= 2) {
    printf("%10d%10d\n", i, square);
    square += odd;
    }

    return 0;
    }

    What did you get (answer)when you typed the program in like this???

    Was is correct?? Let us know.

    I got the right output... but I got the correct output when using the code that I thought was previously correct... so I'm hoping one of you guys will know the answer to this C prog Q!

    So, in summary we started with this:
    Code:
    for (i = 1; i <= n; odd+= 2)
    and the exercise was change it so....
    the FOR loop initializes 'i', tests 'i', and increments 'i'
    And you made it into:
    Code:
    for (i = 1; i <= n; i++, odd+= 2) {
    Do you think all the criteria has been met? It looks like it to me.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
