help with code

[cemock]

I wrote this program in dev++5, and it compiles all right and when I try to run it it comes up and ask for the accout number and I enter one but that is all that happens after that it just sit there and wont ask other questions or let me input any thing else heres is the code I wrote hope I use tags allright.

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{

int acct1;
float bal, chrg, cred, limit;

printf ("Enter in account number: (-1 to end)\n");
scanf ("%d", &acct1);
while (acct1 != -1);{

    printf ("Enter in begging balance:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &bal);

    printf ("Enter in total charges:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &chrg);

    printf ("Enter in total credits:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &cred);

    printf ("Enter in total credit limit:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &limit);

      bal = (bal+chrg)-cred;

            if(bal>limit){

                  printf ("Account: %d\n", acct1);
                  printf ("credit limit: %.2f\n", limit);
                  printf ("balance: %.2f\n", bal);
                  printf ("credit limit exceded\n");
      }
      }
      return 0;
      }

i alrdy told you when u compile pay attention to warnings and errors it may compile (else you wouldnt be able to run it) but there may still be warnings present in your code

while (acct1 != -1);{
/*change it to*/
while(acct!=-1){

drop that ';' and it will run just fine....

The first time I tryed to compile it gave me a waring about the first printf statement undeclared printf or something like that I messed with it and didnt change it just rewrote it and then it compliled ok

>>The first time I tryed to compile it gave me a waring about the first printf statement undeclared printf
You either spelled printf wrong or forgot to include stdio.h :-)

[cemock]

Ok I got it to compile then when I run it, it seems to get into a loop can some one look at it and tell me what I have done wrong I am posting new sorce code that I have now.

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{

int acct1;
float bal, chrg, cred, limit;

printf ("Enter in account number: (-1 to end)\n");
scanf ("%d", &acct1);
while(acct1!=-1){

    printf ("Enter in begging balance:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &bal);

    printf ("Enter in total charges:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &chrg);

    printf ("Enter in total credits:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &cred);

    printf ("Enter in total credit limit:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &limit);
    
     }
      bal = (bal+chrg)-cred;

            if(bal>limit){

                  printf ("Account: %d\n", acct1);
                  printf ("credit limit: %.2f\n", limit);
                  printf ("balance: %.2f\n", bal);
                  printf ("credit limit exceded\n");
              }
             else                     
                                  
             printf ("Enter in account number\n");
             scanf ("%d", &acct1);


      
      return 0;
      }

>>it seems to get into a loop
You mean an infinite loop? :-) The reason is that you ask for and place a value in acct outside of the loop, so there's no way to exit the loop unless you ask for it inside the loop. The simple fix is to ask again :-)

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int acct1;
  float bal, chrg, cred, limit;
  
  printf ("Enter in account number: (-1 to end)\n");
  scanf ("%d", &acct1);
  while(acct1!=-1){
    printf ("Enter in begging balance:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &bal);
    
    printf ("Enter in total charges:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &chrg);
    
    printf ("Enter in total credits:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &cred);
    
    printf ("Enter in total credit limit:\n");
    scanf ("%f", &limit);

    printf ("Enter in account number: (-1 to end)\n");
    scanf ("%d", &acct1);
  }

  bal = (bal+chrg)-cred;
  
  if(bal>limit){
    printf ("Account: %d\n", acct1);
    printf ("credit limit: %.2f\n", limit);
    printf ("balance: %.2f\n", bal);
    printf ("credit limit exceded\n");
  }
  else
    printf ("Enter in account number\n");

  scanf ("%d", &acct1);

  return 0;
}

[Vber]

You're joining in a loop that you cannot exit from him...

while(acct1!=-1)

Your loop will not stop until acct1 is -1.
You wanted to check if the account number is -1 or what?

[cemock]

No vber I was trying to say that when finished with doing your accts that inputing -1 would end program
