POC - Adding an array to itself using dynamic arrays
text
Body
copied!<p>I started a different thread for this, I tried solving it using the help they gave me but I am not able to run the program. Can anyone tell me what is wrong in the program and how is it supposed to be? Thanks.</p> <p>The program is supposed to add an array to itself and replace the original with the sum, so when the initial array is printed, it prints the sum. This is what I have done so far.</p> <p><strong>Please note it is a must to use ADDER(a,a) as a function call. I am not allowed to change that. Both parameters are to be passed by reference.</strong></p> <pre><code>#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> int size; //global variable void ADDER(int *a, int *b) { int i; for (i = 0; i < size; i++) { b[i] += a[i]; } } int main() { int n, i; printf("Enter the number of elements: "); scanf("%d", &n); int *a = (int *)malloc(n*sizeof(int)); int *b; for (i=0; i<n; i++) { printf("Enter element number %d: ", i); scanf("%d", &a[i]); } ADDER(a,a); for (i=0; i<n; i++) { printf("%d", a[i]); } } </code></pre> <p>Errors:</p> <p>1>------ Build started: Project: adderTest, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------</p> <p>1> adder.c</p> <p>1>e:\my documents\visual studio 2010\projects\addertest\addertest\adder.c(17): warning C4996: 'scanf': This function or variable may be unsafe.
