printf() question

[John Connor]

Hi there.

I'm writing a program that makes huge amounts of calculations without user's interference.

So I wrote in the code some printf() just to know when it's doing what.

For example, when it's going to read some big matrix from a file, it was suposed to print on screen something like "Reading the matrix", but it don't really happen.

It prints everything at the end...

My question is: why those printf commands that comes before in the code runs after?

Thanks.

Make sure the strings end with a newline, or call fflush on stdout. It sounds like the stream isn't getting flushed when you want it to.

Thanks.

I'll try that right away!

Thanks again.

That turned out to be exactly the case!
