numbers with boxes

You are just glutton for punishment, aren't you? As I've said, and demonstrated, you cannot have two separate loops.

Other than being unnecessary, do you notice anything wrong with this? My compiler warns me with a C4390 warning.

I guess a gluton for punishment. I am new at this and am trying to learn from a online class, which seems to make this more difficult than I had expected.

What's difficult about comparing your code to mine? :confused:

I am using the LCC Win 32 compiler and when I remove the semicolon away from if (boxnum <= 1); It does not print out the 6, 7, 8, 9 at all.

anyways I changed the code and now it does this. Do i need to change the if boxnum statement?

printf ("\n\nThe numbering layout will be:\n");

while (r <= rows)

	{

	r = r + 1;
	printf ("\\n \\n");

while (c <= cols)

c = c + 1;
printf (" %d |", boxnum);
boxnum = boxnum + 1;


if (boxnum <= 1);

printf(" %d | ", boxnum++);

}

unit\_height = rows \* mbxhgt;
unit\_width = cols \* mbxwid;

printf ("\\nOverall height of mailbox unit: %d", unit\_height);
printf ("\\nOverall width of mailbox unit: %d\\n", unit\_width);

return (0);
}

Mailbox Layout Program How many rows of mailboxes will there be?4 How many columns of mailboxes will there be?5 The numbering layout will be: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | Overall height of mailbox unit: 24 Overall width of mailbox unit: 20

For all but the first row, when will c ever be LE cols again? Furthermore, without braces for the inner while() loop, what statements do you expect will be executed?

I am trying to stick to this flowchart given to me. Maybe I just do not understand it. In the flowchart it is only called where I have it in the code and after boxnum it is suppose to go back to col.

Counting this one, I've posted 8 times to this thread, which was 7 times too many. I showed you the answer in my first post. You continue to use your code, which I do not have a problem with, but you still refuse to make the necessary changes or even compare the two to see why they behave differently. I'm confused as to why a person would do this.

Thanks for your help. I tried to code it just like you had in the 1st answer, but my compiler would not compile it.

Using copy & paste?

It was standard C code. What error(s) did you receive?
