Basic C conversion programme
Author
Hi Guys,
Been having a few probs with a very basic C coversion programme i''ve been trying to run for school. Basically the user enters his/her name and then asked to enter their weight in pounds and height in inches, I am then supposed to covert their weight to kilograms and height to centimeters and then spit out something saying bob jones you are 95kgs and 185cm tall, sounds easy but I cant work it out as i''ve only been learning C for a couple of weeks at college, heres my code that i''ve come up with and its probably all wrong so if anyone can give mne some tips or help me out i''d be grateful
thanks alot
Kiwi
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int iWeight;
int iHeight;
char cName;
cName[30];
printf("Please enter your name\n");
scanf("name\n");
printf("Please enter your height in inches\n");
scanf("%i",iWeight);
return 0;
I wrote that in another thread!!! cheater!!!
most of that is right though...but it wont run untill you close the main() function.
I'm not gonna do your homework for you...but here
edit: i can't type

Some hints:
I would suggest re-reading whatever course material you have on strings (or use the net) to figure out why these are wrong.

//IE English -> Metric
English -> Metric ... or more commonly known to the world as Imperial -> Metric

LOL...nice one
Matt if you wrote that code you need to look up some info on strings (char *).....

I''m not gonna do your homework for you...
Well, I will.
#include <stdio.h>int main(void){ float lbs, inches; char name[21]; printf("What is your name?\n"); gets(name); printf("What is your weight in pounds?\n"); scanf("%f", &lbs); printf(lbs<350?"Okay.\n":"Want a candy bar, fatty?\n"); printf("What is your height in inches?\n"); scanf("%f", &inches); printf("Well, %s:\nYour weight in kilograms is %fkg\n", name, lbs*0.4535925f); printf("and your height in centimeters is %fcm\n", inches*2.54f); getchar(); getchar(); // Pause before quitting return 0;} It will screw up if your full name is longer than 20 characters.
Gotta agree with the others on this one. The last thing I'm going to do is your homework for you.
However, Michalson's post was rather (purposefully?) cryptic and mine won't be much better but the lines in red are the ones you need to concentrate on.
Find out what those lines do and you'll have better luck.
On another note: Why not just complete their homework so that when they get to the real world they're not sucking up jobs from those of us that know how to program?
Good programmers are happy that their code works.
Great programmers know their code works.

well, actually I wrote some code for him in another thread...it wasn''t that though...
i think i gave him more than that...
Zorodius--
gosh...
I''m still in high school...if anybody is gonna do any homework around here it should be me! but I don''t think that we should just flat out do people''s homework for ''em.
i like
printf(lbs<350?"Okay.\n":"Want a candy bar, fatty?\n");
thats great. Kiwi''s teacher just might give him a few extra for that.
