Thread: minor integer or array problems

I cant seems to get the answer of the program below, I try to create a program where the user input 10 numbers and the first 5 numbers in the arrays will then deduct with the next last 5 numbers in the arrays.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

void Difference();

main(){
Difference();
fflush(stdin);
return 0;
}

void Difference(){
int intarr[10];
int i;
int answer;
do
{
printf("Please enter the number :");
scanf("%d",&intarr[i]);
i++;
}
while(i<10);
answer=(intarr[0]+intarr[1]+intarr[2]+intarr[3]+intarr[4])-(intarr[5]+intarr[6]+intarr[7]+intarr[8]+intarr[9]);
printf("Your answer", answer);
getch();
clrscr();
}

When I run, the answer cannot be displayed

[QUOTE=prog-bman]1: main should be int main

sorry but i dont quite get it you mean the main function can be insert with int?

i've tried, everything is in order but still the answer cannot be displayed. it accept input and so on just the answer is blank

Is there a problem with the logic?

Logic is ok.

main should always return an int

For any function, not just main, if no arguments are needed, should be given the void parameter.


As said previously, you need to initialise i, otherwise the expression i++, will add one to a garbage value.

Code:

int i;

Code:

do
{
printf("Please enter the number :");
scanf("%d",&intarr[i]);
i++;
}
while(i<10);

Also, the printf statement that prints the value of answer, doesn't know what format answer is in (int, float, hex, octal, char, string etc). So you should really specify a format. EG:

Code:

printf("%d\n", answer);

Note that %d tells printf to print answer as a signed decimal. You might wanna check the web for function explanations.

Here's a link for the FAQ entry.

thanks for your help the last one help me out...Thanks

what they were trying to get at with the int i; followed by i++; is that it will just use the value that was in that space of memory befor it was allocated as i. This can cause errors in your results. you have to set i to equal something (like the value you want it to start at) befor you use it.
