I have a problem, I tried to write a program to show the whole sum from 1 to 22 and after that, to do 2 while loops. The first one is supposed to perform the sum of some numbers given by the user, as an example: you type 10, 30 and 40 then as you enter a 0 the program sums the first three numbers. Unfortunetly the first while loop is not working. It goes directly to the last while loop where it is supposed to type a decimal numbers like (10.20 30.50 40.55) and after you type 0 again it sum those numbers and add and multipli every entry with 1.19. So far the last loop is working properly, unfortunately the second loop does not, if I move printf and scanf over the while it let me write but just start writing w/o stopping the number I wrote . Thank You in advance!
Here is the code :
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int sum = 0;
int a;
int b;
double i;
double sum1 = 0;
for (a= 0; a <= 22; a++) {
sum = sum + a;
printf("the sum from 1 till 22 : %i\n ", sum);
}
while (b != 0) {
printf("type a number:");
scanf("%i", &b);
sum += b;
printf("%i\n", b);
}
printf("the sum is : %i\n", sum);
while(i !=0) {
printf ("Type a decimal number:");
scanf ("%lf",&i);
sum1 += i*1.19;
printf("%lf\n", i);
}
printf("The decimal summ is: %lf\n",sum1);
return 0;
}
You don't initialise i
to any value before entering the loop with
while(i != 0)
i
might very well be zero at this point, so your loop won't be entered even once. Initialising i
to a non-zero value should fix this particular problem. The same holds for the variable b
.
You should turn on warnings in your compiler, so it can show you problems like this one.
The first time the condition of the second while is evaluated, b
has undefined value, since it wasn't initialized. The same applies to the third while.
Whether or not both loops are executed is only a question of chance.
Initialize both variables with non-zero values to ensure both whiles are entering. Or use a do-while:
do {
printf("type a number:");
scanf("%i", &b);
sum += b;
printf("%i\n", b);
} while (b != 0);
Don't test b
with while
, test it after the user enters the number. Then you can use break
to exit the loop.
while (1) {
printf("type a number:");
scanf("%i", &b);
if (b == 0) {
break;
}
sum += b;
printf("%i\n", b);
}
while(1) {
printf ("Type a decimal number:");
scanf ("%lf",&i);
if (i == 0.0) {
break;
}
sum1 += i*1.19;
printf("%lf\n", i);
}
Your only issues are initialization: see edits in the code below. (it compiles and runs)
Did you get any compiler warnings for these? If not, you should change your settings so you do.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int sum = 0;
int a;
int b=-1; //initialize (any non-zero value will work)
double i;
double sum1 = 0;
for (a= 0; a <= 22; a++) {//a initialized in for(...) statement, (this is good)
sum = sum + a;
printf("the sum from 1 till 22 : %i\n ", sum);
}
while (b != 0) { //b Needs to be initialized before using (done above)
printf("type a number:");
scanf("%i", &b);
sum += b;
printf("%i\n", b);
}
printf("the sum is : %i\n", sum);
i=-1; //initialize i to any non-zero value
while(i !=0) {
printf ("Type a decimal number:");
scanf ("%lf",&i);
sum1 += i*1.19;
printf("%lf\n", i);
}
printf("The decimal summ is: %lf\n",sum1);
getchar();
return 0;
