Write an ascending function (int n, char type, ...) that receives a number n of values and returns 1 if they are in strictly ascending order, otherwise 0. The type character indicates the type of values and can be 'd' - you, 'in' - double.
Here is my try,but i'm kinda stuck.
double asc(int n,char tip,...)
{
va_list va;
va_start(va,tip);
va_list var;
va_start(va,tip);
while(--n)
{
if(tip=='d')
{
int va1=va_arg(va,int);
if( va>va1)
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
else
if(tip=='f')
{
double va2=va_arg(va,double);
if(va>va2)
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
}
return 0;
}
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
asc(3,'d',-1,7,9);
return 0;
}
int asc(int n,char tip,...)
{
va_list va;
va_start(va,tip);
int result = 1;
union
{
int i;
double d;
}val1, val2;
if (n >= 2)
{
for(int i = 0; i < n-1; i++)
{
switch(tip)
{
case 'i':
if(!i) {val1.i = va_arg(va, int);}
val2.i = va_arg(va, int);
if( val1.i > val2.i)
{result = 0; goto function_return;}
val1.i = val2.i;
break;
case 'd':
if(!i) {val1.d = va_arg(va, double);}
val2.d = va_arg(va, double);
if( val1.d > val2.d)
{result = 0; goto function_return;}
val1.d = val2.d;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
function_return:
va_end(va);
return result;
}
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])

I'm new on the subject of data structures so forgive me if Im asking a stupid question, I've been trying to figure this out myself but got nowhere.
These are the functions I'm working on and I think I initialized the file properly. However I couldn't understand why the function GetString prints an infinite loop of spaces. I have another function that exported some data on the said file. When i deleted the ImportListOfCompanyData function everything seems in order and the file is exported as it should be. However when ImportListOfCompanyData is there, the file is NULL.
void char * GetString(FILE *fp)
{
char c;
while(c != '\n')
{
c = fgetc(fp);
printf("%c", c);
}
}
void ImportListOfCompanyData(char *FileName, struct CompanyType s[], int maxit1, int maxit2)
{
FILE * fp;
char c;
fp = fopen(FileName, "r");
if (fp==NULL)
{
printf("Error creating the file \n");
exit(1);
}
GetString(fp);
fclose(fp);
}

It was a really easy solution. I replaced "w" and "r" with "a+"
I guess it was a stupid question, still learning!
I am reading from a txt file into an array of structures. Example txt:
-4.5 -1 0 0
4.0 1 0 0
8 0 1 2
12.1 0 -6 1
-3.2 2.5 -3.0 4
The 4 values of each line correspond to the 4 values in the structure. The file may contain up to 100 lines (MAX is defined as 100). With the following code I am trying to store each line into the respective index of the struct array and then print:
FILE *fileName = NULL;
typedef struct chargeData_struct {
double Q, x, y, z;
} ChargeData;
ChargeData values[MAX], *p = values;
fileName = fopen("charge2.txt", "r");
if (fileName == NULL)
{
printf("ERROR: Could not open file.");
}
int k = 0;
while (fscanf(fileName, "%lf %lf %lf %lf", &p[k].Q, &p[k].x, &p[k].y, &p[k].z) != EOF);
{
printf("%f %f %f %f\n", p[k].Q, p[k].x, p[k].y, p[k].z);
k++;
}
fclose(fileName);
However, only the last line of the txt file is printed. Is the same index of the struct array being overwritten each time?
You are using an extra semicolon which makes all the trouble, here:
while (fscanf(...) != EOF);
{
...
Remove it and you should be fine.
What happens with your code is that while(..); is equivalent to this:
while(...)
{
; // do nothing
}
thus does not enter the body (the one you think is the body) of your loop (since the actual body does nothing). However scanf() continues to parse the file, and then this section of your code executes:
{
printf("%f %f %f %f\n", p[k].Q, p[k].x, p[k].y, p[k].z);
k++;
}
independently, where the curly braces are treated like they wanted to state scope.

in the following code when ran will produce a Segmentation Fault, due to a FILE* being passed to fclose which contains no address (NULL).
I'm wondering why this is happening, the FILE* isn't being used what so over.
The FILE* is named urandom and is passed to fclose in the main function.
Thanks

here it givest an access violation in splitBuffer on this line:
name[j-1]='\0';
which probably should be
(*name)[j-1]='\0';
indeed that memory is not allocated anywhere, in other words, undefined behaviour, which indeed in your case might overwrite the urandom variable: both urandom and name are allocated on stack so depending on value of j it might write over urandom..
apart from that, there might be more errors, the number and use of pointers/mallocs/reallocs and lack of frees is a bit scary
int createArrayOfPtrs(int ,void ***);
if(createArrayOfPtrs(linesInPropertyFile,(void ***)&arrayForProperties))
This is undefined behaviour, a (void***) is not compatible to a (struct property ***). Why do you even use it here, all the other functions use struct property pointers?
Since the array is located right before the file pointer in the local variables of main, maybe the problem is that the array creation/initialization overwrites urandom?
