学校课程测试无法正确覆盖我的代码，我不确定为什么

Question

This might be inappropriate but I'm working on a school project in university and we use an automated test service called Web-Cat. When I upload my file (everything is correct as for the filename and method names etc.) the tests throw this at me:

hint: your code/tests do not correctly cover error: Cannot locate behavioral analysis output.

My code looks like this, I can't find any compile errors or anything that would cause such a problem.

#include <stdio.h>

{
    double average = 0;
    int numOfItems = 0;
    for (int i = numItems-1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        if (array[i] > 0)
        {
            average = average + array[i];
            numOfItems++;
        }
    }
    if (numOfItems == 0) {
        return 0;
    }
    else {
        return average / numOfItems;
    }
}
int countRangeValues(double array[], int numItems, double count)
{
    double countPlus = count + .5;
    double countMinus = count - .5;
    int counter = 0;
    for (int i = numItems-1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        if ((array[i] >= countMinus) && (array[i] < countPlus))

}

If necessary, I can explain the purpose of all of these methods but the test also says "Your program failed before running any tests. Usually this is a compile problem or premature exit problem. Make sure your program compiles and runs before uploading." So I assume its syntax a compiling problem, I just don't know if anything I did would cause something like that.

Answer 1

Candidate problems:

1. Compilation error @fussel

     // return countRangeValue(array, numItems, getMaxAbsolute(array, numItems)); return countRangeValues(array, numItems, getMaxAbsolute(array, numItems)); 

2. Missing main() @Bob__ .

3. Variable length arrays are OK @Eric Postpischil in C99 and optionally in C11 yet do not attempt without insuring a positive array size.

    int countInverses(int array[], int numItems) { if (numItems <= 0) { return 0; } int negarray[numItems]; .... 

4. Instead of if (posItems > negItems) { I'd expect if (posItems >= negItems) { or maybe even if (1) , yet the goal of countInverses() lacks details for deep analysis.

5. countRangeValues(..., double count) is suspicious with double count . When count is a large value, countPlus == count and countMinus == count . The function always returns 0 as array[i] >= countMinus) && (array[i] < countPlus) is always false.

OP's getMaxAbsolute() looks too convoluted. Suggested alternative:

double getMaxAbsolute(const double array[], int numItems) {
  double max = 0.0;
  double amax = 0.0;
  for (int i = numItems - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    double aelement = fabs(array[i]);
    // If greater       or the same, favor + over -
    if (aelement > amax || (aelement == amax && array[i] > max)) {
      max = array[i];
      amax = aelement;
    }
  }
  return max;
}
