Any idea why this fragment of code will result in the subroutine not completing? Whenever the sub "find" is run, the printf statment executes, but the user cannot enter an input because the routine ends.
find(void)
{
char name_search[10];
int i;
printf("Enter name2:");
gets(name_search);
The compiler knows you are using gets, which is a horrible function, and to save your potential damage, it self terminates. It would rather die than execute such a function.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
You are better off using fgets with the stdin stream. If you need help implementing that, then just say the word.

fgets( mystring, strlen(myString), stdin );
where stdin is the associated "stream".
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
here is my implementation of a safe gets()
Code:char* newgets(char* buffer,int num) { int i; fgets(buffer,num,stdin); i=strlen(buffer)-1; if (buffer[i]=='\n') buffer[i]='\0'; return buffer; }
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!

That's an oxy-moron (sp?)
