Anyone out there fluent in c Programming?

Um guys....this is getting Slashdoty....I'm a programmer by profession but come on...you are all NERDS!!!!

 

Hey, if you can't outcorner the competition maybe you can outcode 'em...

 

No doubt. The fact it made two pages speaks for the level of geekdom here.

 

Works for Stoner!

This is what I have so far I cannot test it out yet will not let me build it I have 3 errors
Error 1 error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type' c:\users\dustin geiselman\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\ecet 264 projects\program5.c 136


Error 2 error C2015: too many characters in constant c:\users\dustin geiselman\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\ecet 264 projects\program5.c 164

Error 3 error C2015: too many characters in constant c:\users\dustin geiselman\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\ecet 264 projects\program5.c 164

 

GN, it depends on the read function used. gets() and getc() differ, for example, in that one does character-based operations with functions that read characters, and string-based operations with functions that read strings... and strings are presumed to end with crlf (which are replaced with \0) in a stream, whereas in character ops, those would just be two chars that weren't EOF.


Dustin,


if (inASentence && currentCharacter == ' ' && lastChar ==
'isASpaceTaborEol' && last2Char == 'isATermitator');

is a bad if statement. I think you meant to end with an open brace... isATerminator is misspelled, etc...

Anyway, I think you really ought to use your college's resources (TA, lab help, professor help, tutor/mentors...) instead of us.

 

either way i do appreciate everyones input and help.
