Hi everyone,
I'm having problems reading user inputs from terminal into my array.
the array 'a' has a dynamic size. The polynomial which is inputted by the user determines the size of the array.
once compiled and run:
Enter the order number:
3
Enter your constant:
-90
Enter coefficient # 0
8
Enter coefficient # 1
4
Enter coefficient # 2
35
Enter coefficient # 3
54
0 8.000000
1 4.000000
2 0.000000
3 0.000000
On the debug lines I'm just reporting the array back to user. For some reasons it returns zero for the second half of the array. I can't figure out what the problem could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS. ignore eval function.
here is the code I'm working on:
//import required libraries
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
// function prptotype
double eval(double a[], double x, int n); //n is max degree
//global variables
int N = 0;//N is the polynomial order
double *a;//array
double x; // constant
//main function
int main()
{
printf("%s\n", "Enter the order number:");
scanf("%d", &N); // user input for the order numbers
while (N < 1) //input debuger
{
printf("%d %s\n%s\n", N,"is NOT a positive and non-zero number", "Enter a positive and non-zero integer:" );
scanf("%d", &N); // user input for the order numbers
}
a = malloc ((N + 1) * sizeof(int));// assigning the array size in respect with user input
printf("%s\n", "Enter your constant:" );
scanf("%lf", &x);// user input for "x" constant
for (int i = 0; i < N + 1; ++i)
{
printf("Enter coefficient # %d\n", i);
scanf ("%lf", &a[i]);
}
/* Debug */
for (int i = 0; i < N + 1; ++i)
{
//a[i] = 0;
printf("%3d%13lf\n", i, a[i]);
}
}
//eval function
double eval(double a[], double x, int n)
{
}
