Thread: Problem with code

Hey guys, i'm trying to filter out the unnecessary characters from a text document that i scan. I want to output the text after filtering.

Here's the text document:

33333333333333333333
33383498498908908098
32233423433234342342
10 13 FOX 12311209810281390289

I'm trying to have it to where it looks like this

33383498498908908098
32233423433234342342
12311209810281390289

After the filtering, it skips the first line of the previous text document and takes out the the 10 13 Fox bit.


Here's my code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int input(int [][5]);

void output(int [][5], int);

int main(void) 
{
   int scoreBoard[0][5];
   int countNum;

   countNum=input(scoreBoard);
   output(scoreBoard, countNum);

   return 0;
}


void output(int scoreBoard[][5], int countNum) 
{
   int i,j;

   for (i=0; i<countNum;i++)
     for (j=0;j<5;j++)
      printf("scoreBoard[&#37;d][%d]=%d\n",i,j,scoreBoard[i][j]);
    
}


int input(int scoreBoard[][5]){
   int i,j;
   char character;

   for (i=0;scanf("%c",&character)>0 ;i++) {
      scoreBoard[i][0]= atoi (&character);
      for (j=1;  scanf("%c",&character), j<5; j++)
         scoreBoard[i][j]= atoi (&character);
   }

   return i;
}

Wat am i doing wrong? I can't seem to be able to output the new text after filtering.

Help would be mad appreciated!

at least 2 things:

int scoreBoard[0][5];
is array of size 0 - it cannot contain any data

atoi (&character); - is not working this way, atoi converts string, not a single character

to convert one character like
char c = '6';

to int use
int res = c - '0';

1. Your input does not uses row,col parameters - so they should be made local vars for this function
2. Your input does not fills the array - so it stays not initialized
Instead it outputs something that is against its name
3.Do not use magic numbers like 30 or 49 use corresponding constants like '9' to make your code readable
