Indeed it was. The programming was explained well: I just fixed some bad grammar.

Unfortunately, after I corrected about half of the file, my PDF editor locked up tight. It's now been deadlocked for roughly two hours, but I still hope that it will recover so I can save the file. :-(

stdp, but...

a) Start with printf, not variables. Just copy/paste them around and change the numbers.
b) getch(); is a lot better for pausing programs than scanf("%c") because
...1) It recognises any key, not juse enter
...2) You can't type random stuff in before you press enter =P
...3) W00t! A fellow OpenOffice.org user! (it's OpenOffice.org, not OpenOffice, there IS a difference!)
c) "current_loc = current_loc + distance" should be "current_loc += distance"

I probalby will not change the manual in any major way. I will leave it the way it is starting with variables.

Secondly, i did not realize getch() worked like that. I guess i just never tried it out. That works much better than scanf("%c").

I do like OpenOffice.org alot. And yes I did catch where i put OpenOffice.

I put "current_loc = current_loc + distance" so that it would not confuse people and so i would not have to explain any more that what i had to.

And matthew, if you think you would like programming but just dont understand the pdf then i would suggest finding a website that explains programming from the very basics. If you dont that fine too. I will try to find some good websites tommorow if you are interested.

If you used notepad to save the program, you need to put the file name in quotes when you save it.

So it looks like this: "program.c"
instead of this: program.c

Otherwise Notepad will not-so-helpfully append .txt to the file name, and cause the problem.

it still dosent work.

dail, i tried your counting program. it dosent work, and i cant find the problem.

#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
int count, number;
printf(“How high should I count? ”);
scanf(“%d”, &number);
count = 0;
while ( count <= number)
{
printf(“%d \n”, count);
count++;
}
scanf(“%c”);

return 0;
}

what did i do wrong?

Click "Save As" on the File Menu.

In the Save dialog, make sure Save as type says "All files"

Then label the file test.c

Did you compile the file?

Re: Do you want to learn to program in C   posted: 20-Mar-07 15:15   »» 
The code is correct. The only things i can think of
1) It MUST have the .c extention, which you are trying to do if you havent already
2) Compile, build, then execute. This is on page 7.

If you still cant get it to work, tell us specifically where it is getting stuck at.

I am glad you are getting it now

Hey, I put the counting program in Bloodshed and used the GNU compiler to ,uh, compile it. Here's the new one:

#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
int count, number;
printf (“How high should I count?”/n);
scanf (“%d”/n, &number);
count = 0;
while(count <= number)
{
printf(“%d”, count);
count++;
};
scanf (“%c”);

return 0;
};

The /n goes outside of the quotes, and you left out some semicolons. This is as far as I could figure it out, but it still doesn't work. Maybe someone with more programming skills than me could fix it please?

~~~ROBO~~~

>The /n goes outside of the quotes
No... /n needs to be inside, becuase it represents new line.

The semicolon is also probably a source of problems.

I didn't read the article yet, so I don't know what the original is.
Here's my version. I'm gonna test it tomorrow.
#include <stdio.h>

void main () //Simplify it as much as possible
{
int count, number;
printf (“How high should I count?/n");
scanf (“%d", &number);
count = 0;
while(count <= number)
{
printf(“%d/n”, count);
count++;
} //Semicolon not needed.
//scanf (“%c"); //Er.. What's this for?
}

Ok, my version works.
#include <stdio.h>

void main () //Simplify it as much as possible
{
int count, number;
printf ("How high should I count?\n");
scanf ("%d", &number);
count = 0;
while(count <= number)
{
printf("%d\n", count);
count++;
} //Semicolon not needed.
//scanf ("%c"); //Er.. What's this for?
}
