scanf("%255s", *in);

C does not remember the length of a.

strlen counts bytes until it reads a NULL, where it stops counting and returns its result.

A string with a NULL as its first byte is considered empty. In...

Everything stored in the computer is just a bunch of bits turned on or off. Whether it is a letter or number is just a matter of interpretation. You have told scanf to see the bits as an int, and...

Perhaps you could fill your string from the end and work your way back in mygetline:


s[lim] = '\0';
for (i=lim - 1; i >= 0 && (c=getchar() ) !=EOF && c!='\n'; --i)
s[i] = c;

but then...

For a reference, there is this wiki, which is available in Ubuntu as devhelp ( apt install cppreference-doc-en-html ) or QT help ( apt install cppreference-doc-en-qch ). For a tutorial, Steve...

char s1[21] = "The grey fox";

printf("Length of s1 is %lu\n", strlen(s1));

Do you think it would be good style if the main() function for the above program consisted of nothing more than an array declaration and four function calls? Or is that going to far?

I started putting curly braces in like this because I use a linter (splint) that only understands variable declarations at the start of a block. But it turns out that by reducing the scope of the...

K&R is still one of the best books to learn C. C really hasn't changed much. Wikipedia has an article on changes in C99.

Deleting line 50, and putting this in place of lines 38-39 will get you first occurance on each line, but not all:
indexOf(fPtr, newWord, &line, &col);
while (line != -1) {
printf("line: %d,...

static void output(struct myStruct weight[], FILE * fptr) {
fprintf(fptr, "\n\nHere is your weight: \n");
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
fprintf(fptr, "%d/%d/%d,%f\n",
...

But I can return a pointer to an address on the heap, right? So...
static char *withoutBar ( char * uri )
{
char *out = malloc(256);
if (out != NULL) {
size_t i;
for(i...

I took a look at the assembler output from gcc. Although I found it hard to read because it is a different format than MASM which also I haven't looked at for 32 years, it looks like your first...

Are you saying it is not an error?

The local automatic variable s is allocated on the stack. When the function returns, the stack allocated storage is destroyed. It appears your teacher is not teaching you about lifetime of...

Scanf returns the number of items matched, so if it is less than what you expected (i.e., less than one for the format string "%d") then you have an error.

That just means that gcc is not in the PATH.

My editor put a squiggly line under a lot of places including line 79 int x,y=0; with the warning "Variable 'x' is not assigned a value." But if you aren't using an editor that does static analysis...

fgets(c, sizeof c, ptrf);
if (strcmp(c, argv[3]))
fputs(argv[4], ptrs);
else
fputs(c, ptrs);

The original poster's code, lines 14, 89-90.

I don't even know what 0x02 means or what an & does, but it looks like when you '&' a 0x01 and an 0x02 that you get 0, i.e. false, so your floor=0 assignment is skipped. Also, I'm guessing that you...

scanf("%f", &a);

It makes some sense if you just understand "file scope" to mean not limited ​to a block or function.

They improved BODMAS by adding color, but it is still a subtile hint--division and multiplication are equal precedence, as are addition and subtraction.
