thanks for replying, but the problem is already solved .. and just so you know, we were not allwed to use "while"

Now we begin to print it backwards, where un = user number:

temp_un = un
if temp_un > 0 && temp_un % 10 != 0 {
   print temp_un % 10  - the left over 1's place value
   temp_un = temp_un / 10 - integer division, drops any value less than 1 to 0, perfect for this.
}

The normal way to do this would be to use a loop (perhaps a while loop, until temp_un was == 0).

If you haven't had loops yet, you could just repeat this if statement, as many times as you needed to in order to cover the whole range of possible positive integers.

thanks for posting, problem already solved :P cheers. but i got your idea, its a good one

clrscr() and getch() are both non-standard and your program does not need them, as far as I can tell.


Is this in school? If not, I suggest that you quit and demand your money back. They are hopeless in teaching C, and probably in writing C as well.


No 1234 is an integer, not four integers.

well our teacher said to use void main as it will eliminate many errors etc but ok i'll be using int main as well thanks... and return 0 maybe they will tell us about it later, as they have not as of yet..


yes this is in college.. not in some other institution hehe :P

clrscr will clear the screen if we dont clear the screen then the old date will also flash on the screen while u running the program in the compiler and without getch the program will execute and quit directly and it wont stay on screen..

> well our teacher said to use void main as it will eliminate many errors

Really?! Like what?

Just curious. If he hasn't said anything about it then he's lying worse than most people.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    long int num,i,x;
    i=10;
    printf("Enter the integer\n");
    scanf("%d",&num);
    printf("\nEntered number is %d\n",num);
   while(num)
    {
       x = num;
       printf("%d", num % i);
       num /= i;

    }
}
