    Help with compilation problem

    why do you have your includes strewn all over your program (between each function). The time structure is already declared within <time.h>. Are you are using a self made header file &quot;time.h&quot;. When you have an include within double quoytes the compiler looks for the header file in the...

    silly question

    I had a assignment in which i converted a double value to currency for a print report with a home made function. void monetary_balance (double bal_val, int flag) { const long test1 = 100000000L, test2 = 100000L, grand = 1000L, tun = 100L; long under100 = 0L, under1000 = 0L, undermill...

    Alternatively, you could go... void check (int number) { for( ; ;number++ ) if(number % 10 == 0) return; /* don't need a value here */ } Hoping to get certified..in C programming.

    cursor positioning command

    you could use gotoxy(x, y) function in C, but only if your compiler supports the #include file <conio.h> #include <conio.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { printf(&quot;The first line\n\n&quot;); printf(&quot;note the cursor position now\n&quot;); printf(&quot;Hit any key and...

    Hi, dickie bird I think you got it wrong when passing a char array by reference, here is a small program to show the difference between passing int values and arrays by reference compared to by value....not the use of the ampersand ( & ) in the call to refer_check function and the use of the...

    fread problem

    OR use while((fread(&partrecord, sizeof(part), 1, inp))!=1){ printf(&quot;%s %-20s %.2f %-d %-d %d %d/%d/%d\n&quot;, partrecord.part_id, partrecord.part_descr, partrecord.unit_price, partrecord.quan_onhand, partrecord.reodr_pt,partrecord.reodr_qty...

    Converting string to numeric

    reading your question again, do you just require to check if the character stored in a member are numeric. If so then look at the functions isdigit(), isalpha() in lib <stdlib.h> if(isdigit(str.ch)) printf(&quot;character %c numeric&quot;, str.ch); else printf(&quot;character %c...

    Sorting an array of strings!!

    see my answer to post &quot;alternatives&quot;, espeically point on concatenation where destination string needs to be big enough to hold both strings. Hoping to get certified..in C programming.

    getchar () vs scanf

    try fflush(stdin);........you dont say what the prompts ask for int or char value. there are a number of different ways to read charcters, some of which are compiler and os dependant. have a look at fgetc(stdin); Hoping to get certified..in C programming.

    Probably a stupid scanf/getchar question

    With this part of the code code=scanf(&quot;%c&quot;,code); the compiler first of all scans (reads) the choice into code, which in this case is wrong syntax anyway - you forgot the ampersand &, then you reassign code a different value by having code equal to the return value of scanf, which...

    Format of ITOA

    itoa(num, string, 10); where the last parameter is always &quot;10&quot; if you are using the base-10 (normal) number system. Hoping to get certified..in C programming.
