Came across this code the other day:
for(i=0; i<r1; ++i)
for(j=0; j<r1; ++j)
for(k=0; k<r1; ++k){
mult[i][j] += a[i][k] * b[k][j];
}
Now, is this just a different way of writing:
for(i=0; i<r1; ++i){
for(j=0; j<r1; ++j){
for(k=0; k<r1; ++k){
mult[i][j] += a[i][k] * b[k][j];
}
}
}

yes that is correct .. Put brackets around the first implementation to see for yourself.
PS - there is no one right way .. but I would highly recommend using brackets always ( especially if you are new to programming ) .
It goes a long way to help you understand and debug the code

Yes. The syntax for for is
for (init-statement; condition; iteration_expression)
statement
and for is itself an statement. Therefor it can make a recursive compound.
You can even drop last {}:
for(i=0; i<r1; ++i)
for(j=0; j<r1; ++j)
for(k=0; k<r1; ++k)
mult[i][j] += a[i][k] * b[k][j];
Indentation is very important to make the code readable.

I am not sure if this kind of questions are appropriate here, but...
By changing (or adding) one character make this program print '*' exactly 20 times
void main(){
int i, n=20;
for (i=0; i<n; i--)
printf("*");
}
Any ideas?
It seems you mean the following change from
for (i=0; i<n; i--)
^^^
to
for (i=0; i<n; n--)
^^^
Here is one character i is substituted for one character n.
Another way (if it is allowed by the puzzle) is to add one character '-' like
for (i=0; -i<n; i--)
^^^
Note: By the way pay attention to that according to the C Standard the function main without parameters shall be declared like :)
int main( void )
either do i++ or (i-- & n-=2or any other positive number greater the 1)
That is pretty easy, just change the i-- to n--.
Maybe next Time a Harder Puzzle? ;)

Following selection sort code is generating problem in a[p]>a[j] line why?Although if i put a[i] instead of a[p] it works fine
for (i=0; i<n; i++){
p=i;
for (j=i+1; j<n; j++) {
if(a[p] > a[j]) {
p=j;
t=a[i];
a[i]=a[p];
a[p]=t;
}
}
}
The line p=j; in the inner loop changes p. This causes p to be different from i later, when if(a[p]>a[j]) is evaluated with a new j.
Your code does not need p at all. The test can be merely if (a[i] > a[j]), and the code inside the loop can be:
t = a[i];
a[i] = a[j];
a[j] = t;
Looking at your code, it seems you think you needed to record i or j in p temporarily and then use p. That is not necessary. To use the values of i or j, simply use i or j.

I'm trying to populate my 2D array with random integers.
//rows, cols are randomly generated ints between 1 and 10
int rows = rand()%10 +1;
int cols = rand()%10 +1;
int arr[rows][cols];
for (i = 0; i <rows; i++){
for (j=0; i<cols; j++){
arr[i][j] = rand()%10;
}}
Every time I try to run this code, it gives me a segmentation default.
I edited the post to give the actual code I am running
I suppose it's because the i < ... which should be a j < ... in for (j=0; i<cols; j++);

I have an array contain 100 elements. Can anyone help me to figure out how to write loops that perform this:
data[0] = 1/(2*3*4)
data[1] = 1/(4*5*6)
data[2] = 1/(6*7*8)
...
data[99] = 1/(200*201*202)
data[0]-data[1]+data[2]-data[3]+data[4]-data[5]+...+data[98]-data[99]
I just can't understand how to start. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Try this
double c=0;
for (int i=0;i<100;i++)
{
c=i*2+2;
data[i]=1/(c*(c+1)*(c+2));
}
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i+=2)
{
op+= data[i] - data[i+1];
}
My suggestions how to start, if you really want them and want to manage this by your own:
Generalize your algorithm:
Find a function f(x) such that data[i] = f(i)
Just write the algorithm in your native language.
Then learn basic operators of C language, including loop construct.
Write your "native language algorithm" in C language.
Just in one loop:
int total = 0;
for(size_t i=0; i<100; ++i){
int temp = (i+1)*2;
data[i] = 1/(temp*(temp+1)*(temp+2));
total = total + (i%2==0?data[i]:-data[i]);
}

i declare 2d dynamic array. when run program this error shown:
Unhandled exception at 0x012219c4 in SW-Serial.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0xabababab.
the part of my program that error occured:
double** SWArray;
SWArray = (double**) malloc(lenA*sizeof(double*));
for (int i = 0; i <= lenA; i++)
SWArray[i] = (double*) malloc(lenB*sizeof(double));
for(int i=0;i<=lenA;i++){
SWArray[0][i]=0;
}
for(int j=0;j<=lenB;j++){
SWArray[j][0]=0;
}
picture of this problem
Arrays start from 0 in C. Wherever you say i <= lenA it should be i < lenA. Same goes for j and lenB. Also, the second loop doesn't really make sense. Did you mean lenB instead of lenA ?
You have lenA And lenB mixed up. It should be:
SWArray[i][0] and SWArray[0][j] in your loops.
And you loops should use < not <=
Both the loops are indexing in the wrong dimension and also are accessing elements beyond the size for which memory is allocated. You should change i<= to i< in both the loops
The correct way should be:
for(int i=0;i<lenA;i++){
SWArray[i][0]=0;
}
for(int j=0;j<lenB;j++){
SWArray[0][j]=0;
}
