OK, now I have a variable size array values[size]. I have so far managed to get the input. But now I am interested in a for loop to add all elements. One troubling thing is that it is a varying size array. Anyone could help me?
how have u got the input...u must be having some counter which tracks the number of inputs..why not try using the same counter for the output!!
Here's how: Code: #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { int n, sum; printf("?: Specify a number of values.\n\ni: The x variables are by default started at 0 and your desired number should be the highest x variable. If any slots in the x array are not available, you should leave the frequency fields at 0.\n\nTherefore, your highest value of x please: "); scanf("%i", &n); printf("i: Success: Array size set to contain %i elements (including 0)\n\n", n); int size = n, values[size]; for ( size = 0; size < n; ++size ) { printf("?: For x = %i, f = ?: ", size); scanf("%i", &values[size]); printf("i: Success: When x = %i, f = %i\n\n", size, values[size]); } printf("i: Now printing a table of data . . .\n\n"); printf("| x (Variable) | f (Frequency) |\n"); printf("-----------------------------------------\n"); for ( size = 0; size < n; ++size ) { printf("| %3i | %3i |\n", size, values[size]); } printf("i: END\n"); int values_copy = values, sum_up; /*add all values so as to find the mean*/ for ( size = 0; sum_up = 1; sum_up < n; ++sum_up ) { sum = values_copy[size] + values_copy[sum_up]; } printf("int sum = %i\n", sum); return 0; } But the last for loop is dead. Always complainin'. This program is meant to find the mean of a set of unnamed number of values.
