Blank screen, while executing the program

Dear All,

I am facing this problem right from the time when i first installed Turbo C_3, the compiler runs fine, but the execution screen is just blank with no error messages. its just a blank screen with no output, i checked the output file, is creating.

there are no errors in the program, and this is really annoying.

i am using Windows Xp, SP - 0 OS, i tried it on my laptop too which has SP_2, but still the same thing which makes me think i have to tweek something on the TC options before it. If so kindly let me know.

Please help me with this regard.

Well one fix for this issue in Turbo C is to find the 'uninstall' option and use it.
Alternatviely go to program files folder and find the turbo c folder. choose 'delete'
then go to the recylce bin and choose 'empty' -
click yes when prompted 'do you want to permanently delete turbo c'

Then go and get Code::Blocks

@rogester001 : cool, i took ur advice, got it installed, here's my sample programme,

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int num1,num2,num3,sum;
float averag;
printf("Entre the three nos\n");
scanf("%d %d %d",&num1,&num2,&num3);
sum=num1+num2+num3;
averag=sum/3.0;
printf("sum = %d\n Average = %f\n",sum,averag);
}

---

Execution window shows this mess : Process returned 0 <0x0> Execution time : 0.000s
without actually producing any o/p, what might probably be the error?

Guessing the fix might be this: FAQ > Stop my Windows Console from disappearing everytime I run my program? - Cprogramming.com

Rags is probably right there, although If you have ran it from the code blocks CTRL+F10 (run) option then there is an automatic halt placed on the console runner anyway. If you are using CTRL+F10 to run from the ide that is..if you have gone into the /bin folder to run the debug or release build directly then it wil disappear yes.

Well guys, i tried getchar(); too earlier...but had no luck,i even tried to execute the example programs that come included in the software package, but had no luck even there. I used c programs while at college, had no problems then, in the same computer.

So you read the lnk that was posted and associated info? Anyway, in windows you can call system pause that will do it..in a specific use case. just check out the reading on why / why not use this type of thing though

Sounds like some dodgy Turbo C compiler or library behaviour. What you've written should work fine.

Beware that getchar() blocks until you hit enter. So

Code:

---

c = getchar();

---

Will put whatever character you entered in c, but then it'll go straight through a subsequent getchar() because there's a newline waiting to be processed on stdin.

You shouldn't use getchar() for getting the numbers, but you could use it to block before exit to avoid the command prompt disappearing. Just make sure the previous scanf() eats the newline (put it in the format string). And should all be good.
