Hello,
Everything in code when well there is a small problem on display output:

when I run the file this is the output i got

69 6E 74 20 6D 61 69 6E 20 28 29 20 7B 7D 0A

my teacher have

0000 : 69 6E 74 20 6D 61 69 6E 20 28 29 20 7B 7D 0A

i missing the 0000: in front! I tired so way but no go at all.

I hope someone can help me out here.

It is quite simple: first, you need an unsigned int variable as a counter, which should be initialized to zero. Alter your printf() statement to print this counter as a four-digit hex value followed by a a semi-colon and a space, followed by the string you are now printing. Finally, at the end of the printing loop, add NUM_CHARS to the counter.

i dont understand?

can you show me?

Which part are you having trouble with?

Here is what i put it in

it work but it only show 0000:

clear_line(line, sizeof line);
        int lines = 0;
        printf("%04x: ", lines);
        lines += 16;
        hex_offset   = line+HEX_OFFSET;
        ascii_offset = line+ASCII_OFFSET;

OK, first thing is, in C you can only declare variables at the beginning of the function, so I'm not sure why it is letting you put it there. The fact that it is inside the loop, however, means it is getting re-initialized each iteration, so it will always be zero.

Also, I assume that it is still printing out the rest of the line, correct?

yes

0000:
0000:
0000:
0000:
0000:
and so on

did i put in wrong place?
