but % will ONLY give me the remainder, I am trying to input 2 numbers and display their quotient even when the result is not a whole number....Originally Posted by stahta01
use a float a make a cast when you divide
Code:float quotient; ..... quotient = (float)first_Num / sec_Num; printf("\nThe quotient of %d and %d is %f\n\n", first_Num, sec_Num, quotient);
to complicate things, did u do function pointers? It's a perfect case to use them, if you have not yet studied them does nothing it's just an advice
Or you can set up your program in a different way, for example
and write a function for each operation.Code:switch(choice){ case 1: sum(first_Num, sec_Num); break; case 2: ... }

that is giving me the result of 0.000000 no matter what numbers i enter.
yeah we learned about pointers this past week... how would i implement them in this situation?did u do function pointers? It's a perfect case to use them, if you have not yet studied them does nothing it's just an advice
since a switch statement doesnt allow the use of double do i need to change the whole code to nested if statements instead?
This is what you want?
Comments : Declare numbers as float, read them, divide them and print quotient and remainer(mod).Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> /* for fmod */ int main(void) { float a,b; scanf("%f",&a); scanf("%f",&b); printf("Quotent a/b = %f\n",a/b); printf("Quotent a mod b = %f\n",fmod(a,b)); return 0; }
I found the problem, had to declare all my variables as doubles instead of int except for choice. now I'm having problems inside my 8th case statement which opens a new menu of different shapes to find the area.... any suggestions?

scanf requires you to pass the adress of the variable, thus &first_NumCode:scanf("%lf", first_Num)
Tip : When you report an error, it is good to give more information.What is the error?What kind of an error is that?Where it happens( you said only this).
Or even better post what the compiler saysHe is not a lier not a dummy. He is clever

HA HA HA oh man i feel stupid. yeah i forgot the damn ampersand. the compiler wasn't giving me any errors that's why i was so confused! thanks for correcting my stupidity!
I would not call it stupidity
here is my code any suggestions on what i should add?
all input is much appreciated!!

I'm thinking of adding volume formulas too. maybe a way to find the factors of a number but i'm not sure yet how to do that...
Before adding functionality , test functionality that you already have!
For example in case of division...the user may input as a second number zero (by accident or not ) .What will happen? Probably won't crash, but you should take care of situations like that.I suggest you run it and see what happens
Hey man. I like your code, in fact, I was going to do something like your work but my professor challenged me with this: My calc has to scan the input as a string and then parse the string to figure out what belongs where.
Input sample: 3+5*6-4/2+6*9
Output sample: 85
So far, no luck. I was just able to make the program differentiate between numbers and operators, but I still need to do a lot of work! If you have any ideas, please let me know too OP.
If I get my code to work, feel free to add it to your calc when it's done
yeah that's what i don't like about my code. the fact that you can only do 1 operation kinda makes it less useful if i have an equation to solve. the best part of my code, imo, is the formulas for area, im also doing the same thing for volumes too. if i can come up with a code like you are trying to that would probably save a lot of memory, (which doesnt matter since my code is built for a pc not an embedded system though) but would add a lot more functionality. let me know what you come up with, I'll keep my code up to date with any changes i make also.Hey man.
