Thread: trouble with my first c program

Thanks, I guess that works, Im sorry for not using the code tags. Im just wondering if there isnt another way of going about this?

You could try my snip function!

Code:

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

// Snip the double value of where you want it to be snipped
double
snip (double d,   // The decimal value we want to snip
      int dp)     // The decimal places of where to snip
{
  // Bring the decimal number up to an integer of where we want to cut
  // And snip it

  d = floor (d * pow (10, dp));

  // Bring the integer back to a decimal by moving the decimal place back to the left

  d = d / pow (10, dp);

  // Successfully return the snipped version of the decimal

  return d;
}

int main (void)
{
  // n = The number we want to snip
  // n2 = The result of the snipping

  double n = 3.14823723;
  double n2;

  // Snip the large decimal

  n2 = snip (n, 2);

  // Print out the results

  printf ("%f = ~%f\n", n, n2);

  // Return successfully

  return 0;
}
