not really.

how about you NOT talk like a 12-year-old texting message to your friends during recess, mmkay?

.

and how about you shutting the FUCK up and let me express the way i feel, BASTARD

hi, can u plz send ur entire code so we can fix things up greatly,
thnx

hi,
the first thing i noticed is there's no total_sales function, if u can c the total_sales just lemme know, so i wonder how case 2 gonna work, n just @ a 1st sight, there r more prototypes than the cases, maybe if u send us ur source we might help u figuring out whats wrong whith that, plus it will make us a gd exercice,
right guys?

As it’s been previously mentioned that, there are quite a few problems in your code. Which you might have to sit down and think about. I will point you out few error which you have made.

1.The memory allocation for char point word is not right.

Char (*word)[30];
	
	Has to be like this

	Word = malloc( sizeof (char *[30] ) * 10 );
	// Please note you need to do some error checking down, to avoid further problem

2.Reading string through fgets is really a good practice, but at the same time you need to understand the on how to use those function and their parameter list. The fgets function for a void * pointer, but not .void ** pointer. Which means that, the usage of the fgets function should be as follow

fgets( word[i], 30, stdin);

To makes more for easy and, I have written few sample codes which might give you some idea on how to read string in two ways .One is through a Array of char pointer methods and the other one through pointer to pointer methods. Have a look at it. You should get some idea on how to use them.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void readstring( char (*word)[30] )
{
     int i;
     for( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
         fgets( word[i], 30, stdin );
}

int main()
{
    char (*word)[30];
    int i, num;
    
    printf("Enter the number of word you want to sort\n?");
    scanf("%d", &num );
    
    word = malloc( sizeof(char *[30]) * 10 );
    /* …

printf("how many words u wanna sort\t");
	scanf("%ld", &num);
	getchar();

	words=(char *)calloc(num, sizeof(char));

Put the above statements in the main() function and the code should be fine.

EDIT: You'll also adjust the scope of some variables. Do that, too. Post any further problems you have.

i tried it, but im having a break when it goes to "strcmp(words, words[i+1])", it tells me access reading violation or stuff like that

PS: i use visual C

Looks like the variable "num" is not returned to main, the variable "n" is never passed the value of num.

That leaves your sorting function with 0 strings that are being asked to sort. Return num and assign it to n, and see if that doesn't help.

i passed num as a pointer but didnt work, my main problem i guess is when getting the strings, i found a solution using "char words[MAXWORDS][MAXLENGTH]" but i wanna do it "char *words[]",
thnx for ur help

hi everyone,
i was writing an application, with the c language, which asks the user to give the number of strings to sort, and then sort'em, but i had some problems that i can't figure out, would u please help me

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

void getting(char *words[], int num);
void sort(char *words[], int n);

int i=0;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

	char (*word)[30]=NULL;
	int n=0;

	getting(word, n);
	sort(word, n);

	system("pause");
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

void getting(char *words[], int num)
{
	printf("how many words u wanna sort\t");
	scanf("%ld", &num);
	getchar();

	words=(char *)calloc(num, sizeof(char));

	for(i=0; i<num; i++)
	{
		printf("enter the %ldth word : ", i);
		fgets(&words[i], 30, stdin);
	}

}

void sort(char *words[], int n)
{
	int k=1, sorted=1;
	char tmp[30];

	do
	{
		sorted=1;
		for(i=0; i<n-k; i++)
		{
			if(strcmp(words[i], words[i+1])>0)
			{
				strcpy(tmp, words[i]);
				strcpy(words[i], words[i+1]);
				strcpy(words[i+1], tmp);
				sorted=0;
			}
		}
		k++;
	}
	while(sorted!=1);

	for(i=0; i<n; i++)
		printf("%s\n", words[i]);
}

i'm thankful to everyone, it was very helpful:)

hi everyone :), i wanted to create a little program with makes the divisions of the elements of a table i wanted to create a loop which will indicate if there's a number in the table then we should c "the division cannot be made", if not we will get the result,the problem is it doesnt work, u may try it n it wont, i know u will say wht is the utility of such stuff, well im just new to C so im tryin with basics,o_O enough talkin here's my source code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>
#define n 4

void main()
{
                //variables

	double table[n]={0};
	long no=1,i;
	double x=0,d;

                //program
	for (i=0; i<n; i++)
	{
	printf("enter the number %d", i);
	scanf("%f", &table[i]);
	}
	printf("gr8\n");
	printf("%f", table[0]/table[1]);//this is just to c if it works
	for (i=0; i<n; i++)
	{
		do
		{
			if(x==0)
			no=0;
			x=table[i+1];
		}
		while (x!=0);
	}
	if (no==0)
		printf("the division cannot be made");
	else
		d=table[0]/table[1]/table[2]/table[3];
		printf("the division is %f", d);



	system("pause");
}

plz help me solving this, i spent almost a week thinking about it
thank u for ur help

hi everyboody, i am barbie girl :), i know its not a real name but this is how everybody calls me, n i like it, well i hope we gonna learn much from here, c u
