Technically getsales(int a[13] could be getsales(int a[11] since array indexing starts at 0 and he only needs 12 months 0-11. But note that in his while statement month starts at 0 and goes to month...

I changed your "getsales" function only as an example. I also printed out the "a" array after the "while" loop just to show that it worked. You can take out the three lines that do this.

Note...

Hammer is of course correct which tells me if you're going to answer questions in this forum you had better try it on more than
one platform or you will get "THE HAMMER"

%d in printf does indeed specify an integer so the "&" is not needed. I always say " the address of" when I type code that
contains the "&" with a variable. Seems to help me.

There are many...

There must be some other problem because I got this to compile and run with turbo C.




#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
char *pointer = "hello";

How about posting your #include files and I'll see if I can get it to work.

What compiler are you using? It should have given you a warning about the following line like "Possibly incorrect assignment......".

You actually need two equal signs here ortherwise you are...

I have a really old version of Turbo C and I got this to work.



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

int main(void)
{

Here's a real simple version of how to do this.
Hope it helps.



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

In my opinion hardware engineers can usually write some

I got your magic box program to work. Here's the working version

Also, this isn't going anywhere:

Hammer. this was my fault. It should have been:



while(input[n]!='\0')

I ran your program and it worked fine.

Note that sscanf isn't an ordinary method or built-in function, but a very special construction in Pike. The reason is that sscanf has to change its arguments, and since Pike uses call-by-value, no...

The shift operators << and >> perform left and right shifts of their left

jerry, please can you use code tags for the code (see my sig for an example). It helps make the code readable by keeping the layout as it is in your editor. Thanks.



Hammer could you please...

As i've learned from this forum you should use "fgets" instead of "gets".

You have the right idea but it can be done with a lot less code(work).

Here's some streamlined code that will do what...

getchar() reads a character from the standard input, usually the
keyboard. getchar will also 'echo" the typed character to the standard output, usually the user screen.


I couldn't tell...

You're trying to take in an integer and check it in the "switch" against an ascii character. You should have been able to find this
problem with a debug session.

Try the following:

No 8's or 9's sounds like you want to work in octal(base 8). If this is the case take in any numbers from the user and use:

// Code
printf("%o", number);

to display it.

Well I guess I'm too isolated from the real world to know about the
long known problems with "gets".

I debugged this on my PC not on Unix.

I loaded a real old version of TC to get the...
