help, it wont run at all.

I have this program that has no errors (good news), but wont run at all (bad news) and i need it in by 1159 tonite. think anyone can help me. well here it is

#include <stdio.h>

float main()

{

float numbers[6]={100, 500, 10, 90, 7, -1};
float maximum_value;
float minimum_value;
float sum;
float average;
float i;
float count;

printf("There are 5 integers in the file. We will be finding the max, min, sum, and ave of all of the integers\n", numbers);
scanf(&numbers[0], numbers[1], numbers[2], numbers[3], numbers[4], numbers[5]);
while(numbers[0]>0);
{
scanf("%f", &numbers[0]);
i=0;
count=0;
maximum_value=numbers[0];
i=maximum_value;
count=count++;
sum=maximum_value;
}
while(numbers[1]>0);
if(numbers[1]>numbers[0]);
{

scanf("%f", &numbers[1]);
sum=maximum_value+numbers[1];
maximum_value=numbers[1];
i=maximum_value;
count=count++;
}
minimum_value=numbers[1];
while(numbers[2]>0);
if(numbers[2]>numbers[1]);
{
scanf("%f", &numbers[2]);
sum=maximum_value+numbers[2];
maximum_value=numbers[2];
i=maximum_value;
count=count++;
}
minimum_value=numbers[2];
while(numbers[3]>0);
if(numbers[3]>numbers[2]);
{
scanf("%f", &numbers[3]);
sum=maximum_value+numbers[3];
maximum_value=numbers[3];
i=maximum_value;
count=count++;
}
minimum_value=numbers[3];
while(numbers[4]>0);
if(numbers[4]>numbers[3]);
{
scanf("%f", &numbers[4]);
sum=maximum_value+numbers[4];
maximum_value=numbers[4];
i=maximum_value;
count=count++;
}
minimum_value=numbers[4];
while(numbers[5]>0);
if(numbers[5]>numbers[4]);
{
scanf("%f", &numbers[5]);
sum=maximum_value+numbers[5];
maximum_value=numbers[5];
i=maximum_value;
count=count++;
}
minimum_value=numbers[5];
average=sum/count;

printf("The maximum value of the integers is %f.2\n", maximum_value);
printf("The minimum value of the integers is %f.2\n", minimum_value);
printf("The sum of the integers is%f.2\n", sum);
printf("The average of the integers is %f.2", average);
{
return 0; /*back to 0*/
} /*end*/

}

Nice - now go read the forum rules then edit your post to include code tags

Oh I decided to be nice:

I have this program that has no errors

Oh really:

Quote:

g++ -Wall -ansi -pedantic -o bt3 bt3.cpp
bt3.cpp:5: warning: return type for `main' changed to `int'
bt3.cpp: In function `int main(...)':
bt3.cpp:15: warning: too many arguments for format
bt3.cpp:16: passing `float *' as argument 1 of `scanf(const char *, ...)'
make: *** [bt3] Error 1

You should treat every warning as an error until you exactly which warnings you can ignore.

I'd say that a program that compiles but doesn't run has some serious errors :)

A big problem is in your improper use of while loops:

Code:

---

while(numbers[0]>0);
...
while(numbers[1]>0);
...
while(numbers[2]>0);
...
while(numbers[3]>0);
...
while(numbers[4]>0);
...
while(numbers[5]>0);

---

Each of these are infinitely executing loops that do nothing for values in the array greater than 0 because of the poor placement of the semicolon.

>>float main()
At least it's not void...

>>scanf(&numbers[0], numbers[1], numbers[2], numbers[3], numbers[4], numbers[5]);
You better look up the scanf() function again.

>>printf("There are 5 integers in the file. We will be finding the max, min, sum, and ave of all of the integers\n", numbers);

You better look up the printf() function again.

>>while(numbers[0]>0);
What hk_mp5kpdw said.

To name a few :rolleyes:
