    <p>Sorry if the title is still ambiguous.</p> <p>I'm doing this assignment for school and below are my defined function prototypes, the main function and the change_array function.</p> <p>The overall objective of this program is to allow users to input 5 different numbers and be stored into an array. Then what the change_array function does is to double (multiply by 2) any numbers that are below 10, however, it is currently not doing what it is intended to do. I'm really stuck, so I was wondering if anyone can point out my mistakes. I'm not asking for an exact answer, I just need some pointers and guidance. </p> <p>What is going wrong is that the change_array function is not changing any of the values given by the users. So for example, if the user inputs, "3, 5, 6, 12, 32", the output of my program is still "3, 5, 6, 12, 32". But what I really want is, "6, 10, 12, 12, 32" after the arrays are passed back from the change_array function.</p> <p>EDITED with complete program:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt; #define SIZE 5 void fill_array(double x[], int s); void change_array(double x[], int s); void print_array(double x[], int s); main() { double x[SIZE]; fill_array(x, SIZE); printf("The array is as: \n"); print_array(x, SIZE); change_array(x, SIZE); printf("After change, the array is: \n"); print_array(x, SIZE); } void fill_array(double x[], int s) { int i=0; printf("Please input 5 Non-Negative double numbers\n"); for (i=0; i&lt;s; i++) { printf("Number %d: ", i+1); scanf("%d", &amp;x[i]); printf("\n"); } } void change_array(double x[], int s) { int i=0; for (i=0; i&lt;s; i++) { if (x[i] &lt; 10) { (x[i] = (x[i] * 2)); } } } void print_array(double x[], int s) { int i=0; for (i=0; i&lt;s; i++) { printf("%ld \t", x[i]); } printf("\n"); } </code></pre> <p>My code is written in C.</p>

    1. CO`change_array` indeed modifies the array so that the modification are visible to the caller. You need to post the real code, preferably a complete program.

    3. COOK, the new code makes it clear that the problem is simply the printf format string.

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.
