Help with multi function progam

I am working on a program with more than one function. The proble, is after I have written the different short programs I needed to make them into one program. Now that I did that is were I am haveing problems. Can anyone help me with what I am doing worng.

Thank You
Wacko

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"

What in the world is going on here? First of all, your braces are all screwed up. Secondly, you need to include variables names in the function parameter list - not just their types. Thirdly, you have a semicolon after the function declaration. Or is this even a function declaration? I can't really tell.

Also, how are you using a namespace in a C program? If you intended for this to be C++, then post it in the appropriate forum.

And then there seems to be these mysterious blocks of code which don't exist in any function. You need to stop what you are doing, and spend some time reading some C tutorials.

Code:

---

#using <mscorlib.dll>

---

Are you kidding me?...

I am useing .Net for the complier

As for the rest, this is why I am asking for help.

Well first you need to decide what language you actually want to program in. I think I see some managed C++ in your code there, is that what you want?

No I am doing this in C.

Thank You for helping me, I also want to learn what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the answer to that is everything. Like I said before, you need to read some C tutorials before going any further in your current program.

I understand That I am new to this, but I would like some help as to what I did worng. I was able to write different parts of the program and didn't have any problems running thoses part by themself, the problem I have is when I try to join things into one program.

List of things wrong (incomplete, but a start)

- You have no main() function.
- You are trying to declare/define functions within other functions, you can't do that.
- No such thing as #using in C
- No such thing as using namespace in C
- You seem to have blocks of code appearing in the middle of nowhere.

I am useing Visual Studio .Net to write my code. I am going to do some of what you said. I not sure what you said about not haveing a main() I thought I did.

Thanks

I have rem out some of what you said is worng, now I don't have as many errors as before, but I still am haveing problems. Can you help me some more.

Thank You

In ANSI C you have a main function, which is the first function that is called when your program is ran.

Code:

---

int main(void)
{
  return 0;
}

---

Is how you properly define the main function for C. What're you doing is some kind of weird c++/c/c# mixture, if this is what you want I'm afraid you'll need to find another forum.

Ok I fix the main. Now what needs to be done, the errors are getting lest. Thank you for the help you have been giveing me.

Here is the way the code is now.

Code:

---


#include "stdafx.h"
#include <math.h>

//#using <mscorlib.dll>

//using namespace System;

void display_statement (double, double, double, double, int, double);



int main(void)

{
double a=1;
double b=1;
double c=1;
double d=1;
double e=1;
double x=1;
double i;                    // Interest_Rate Monthly
double p;                    // Principal
int n  ;                      // Number Payments
double Payment_Amount;
double payment;
double Total_Amount;
double total_amount;
double Tamount_paid;
double total_interest;
double Tinterest_paid(double, int);
double payment_amount (double, double, int);


        printf("Please Enter Interest Rate ");            // Key As n.n
                scanf("%lf",&i);
        printf("Please Enter Loan Amount ");              // Amount of Loan
                scanf("%lf",&p);
        printf("Please Number Of Monthly payments ");    // Number Of Monthly
                scanf("%d",&n);

        payment = Payment_Amount (i,p,n);
    Total_Amount = Tamount_paid(payment,n);
    total_interest=Tinterest_paid(total_amount,p);

void display_statement (double, double, double, double, int, double);

}

{
        double x;

        x = Tinterest_paid(200000, 150000);
        printf("The result is\n\n %f', X);

                return 0;



}

double Tinterest_paid (double amount_paid, double Principal)

{

        double int_paid;

        int_paid = amount_paid - Principal;

        return (int_paid);

{

        double x;
        x = Payment_Amount(5.5, 100000, 60);

}

double Payment_Amount (double Interest_Rate, double Principle, int Number_Payments)

{
        double a, payment;

        a = Interest_Rate/100;
        a= a/12;

        payment = (a* Principle)/ (1 - pow((1+a), -Number_Payments));
        return(payment);
}

{
        display_statement (a, b, c, d, x, e);
        return 0;

}

void display_statement (double payment, double loan_payment, double Tinterest, double Principal, int Number_Payments, double interestrate)

{

        printf("Monthy Payment: $%.2f\n\n", payment);
        printf("Total Loan Amount; $%.2f\n\n", loan_Amount);
        printf("Total Interest Payment: $%.2f\n\n", Tinterest);
        printf("Principal: $%.2f\n\n", Principal);
        printf("Number Of Payments: %d\n\n", Number_Payments);
        printf("Interest Rate %.3f percent\n\n", interestrate);

_tmain() is a valid entry point for a Windows application.

So are you saying that the way I had the main was allright?

Well int main(void) is the standard entry point to an application, but Windows allows programmers to use _tmain() as an entry point so that the command line parameters are passed in the form of TCHARs instead of chars. This allows your application to be unicode compliant which is useful if the application is going to be in a language other than english.

So now that I do unstand, even though I did change it, what else can I do to have it run?

Thank You

Perhaps you should request this thread be moved to the windows programming board?

I understand the Main now, What else do I need to do to fix the program so that it will at least run so that I can see what else is wrong?

thank You

Can someone Please Help me?

Thank You

No need to bump the thread. The reason that I've not replied further is because you clearly have a lack of understanding of very fundamental concepts of the C programming language, and I don't have a spare few hours to explain them to you. That might be the reason why others haven't replied. Suggest you read at least a few chapters of an introductory C book, especially on the ones pertaining to functions.

I have read, but not really understanding it right. I have six books on the subject, and more papers printed from the web on functions. This is why I am here asking for help. Could you try and spend some time helping me?

Thank You

A C program with multiple functions might have this structure:

Code:

---

/* Some includes, for needed header files */
#include <stdio.h>

/* Some function declarations */
double foo(int, int, int, double);

/* A main function (in your Windows environment, apparently _tmain) */
int main(void)
{
    double x;
    /* some code that does stuff, calling your functions */
    x = foo(1,2,3,4.0);
    return 0;
}

/* the definitions of functions you declared above */
double foo(int a, int b, int c, double d)
{
    return a + b + c * d; /* made up pointless function */
}

---

The useless program above is valid, and explains how a correct looking program with use of a function is typically strutured. Yours is all over the place. Clearly declare your functions outside of any other functions, clearly have your main, clearly define your functions outside of any other functions. Don't put blocks ( { and } ) outside of functions.

Notice also my indenting, it clearly shows what should belong where. If you still can't work out how to do this, post your code and comment liberally the structure. Before each function declaration and definition, and before each block of code, state what function it belongs to, then the problem should be self-evident.

Ok I just printed out what you wrote and will try to see if I can fix what is wrong. I know I will be back.

Thank You
