    <p>This C code is giving me some unpredictable results. The program is meant to collect 6 nos and print out the max, position of the max no and the average. It's supposed to have only 3 functions - input, max_avr_pos and output for doing what the code is supposed to do but I am getting unpredictable results. Please what could be the problem</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt; #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt; #include &lt;conio.h&gt; void input_vals(int arrnum[]); void max_ave_val(int arrnum1[],double *average,int *maxval,int *position); void print_output(double *average1,int *maxval1,int *position1); int main(void) { int arrnum[6],maxval2,position2; double average2; input_vals(arrnum); max_ave_val(arrnum,&amp;average2,&amp;maxval2,&amp;position2); print_output(&amp;average2,&amp;maxval2,&amp;position2); _getche(); return 0; } void input_vals(int arrnum[]){ int count; printf("\n Please enter six numbers\n"); for(count=0;count&lt;6;count++) { scanf("%d",&amp;arrnum[count]); } } void max_ave_val(int arrnum1[],double *average,int *maxval,int *position) { int total=0; int cnt,cnt1,cnt2,limit,maxval2,post; limit=6; /* finding the max value*/ for(cnt=0;cnt&lt;limit-1;cnt++) for(cnt1=limit-1;cnt1&gt;cnt;--cnt1) { if(arrnum1[cnt1-1]&gt;arrnum1[cnt1]) { maxval2=arrnum1[cnt-1]; post=(cnt-1)+1; } else { maxval2=arrnum1[cnt1]; post=cnt1+1; } } *maxval=maxval2; *position=post; /* solving for total */ for(cnt2=0;cnt2&lt;limit;cnt2++); { total=total+arrnum1[cnt2]; } *average=total/limit; } void print_output(double *average1,int *maxval1,int *position1) { printf("\n value of the highest of the numbers is %d\n",*maxval1); printf("\n the average of all the numbers is %g\n",*average1); printf("\n the postion of the highest number in the list is %d\n",*position1); } </code></pre>

    1. COIt would help by explaining what exactly is "unpredictable results".

    3. COI'm a bit confused why you're looping twice - you could just go through once, adding up to get the total, and remembering the current max value and its position.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
