I am creating a database that stores details of newspapers..
When I am trying to add a record, I want to allow the user to enter the price of the newspaper.
This is the code that I am using:
However, whenever the program reaches this section the program just closes.Code:printf("\n\n\tPlease enter the weekly price of the newspaper: "); fflush(stdin); scanf("%f",paper[toprec2].price);
Can anyone suggest why this is happening and what can be done to solve it?
Thanks
hi guy!
Code:printf("\n\n\tPlease enter the weekly price of the newspaper: "); fflush(stdin); scanf("%f",&paper[toprec2].price);
Someone else found out that this was the problem: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/msdos-progr...section-5.html
After adding this:
It worksCode:static void forcefloat(float *p) { float f = *p; forcefloat(&f); }
Please don't use fflush(stdin) it's undefined and it was discussed number of times. Please read FAQ on this.
I think you could just add this
instead of function and it will work.Code:float dummy = 1.0f;

And what exactly is this supposed to do? Run you out of stack space? You know this will never end until that happens, right? And when that happens, your program dies.Originally Posted by aydin1

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/msdos-progr...section-5.htmlTo do that, define this function somewhere in a source file but don't call it:Not the best workaround, but at least it has a disclaimer.Code:static void forcefloat(float *p) { float f = *p; forcefloat(&f); }
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
They never said they were getting an error, but that the "program just closes". The link provided was to "get around" a floating point not linked error. Nothing in their post says anything about that. It just says the program closes.
