So heres the scoop. I need to take this code: Code: #include "stdio.h" #include "conio.h" int value,rem,bill_50,bill_20,bill_10; void dispenser(); int main(void) { printf("**Welcome**\n\n"); dispenser(); getch(); } void dispenser() { int a,b; printf ("Enter the amount you wish to withdrawl\n"); scanf("%d",&value); if(((value%10)==0) && (value>0)) { //Calculates 50s if(value>=50) { bill_50 = value/50; value = value%50; printf ("No of 50 Bills is %d \n",bill_50); } //Calculates 20s if((value>=20) && (value<50)) { bill_20 = value/20; value = value%20; printf ("No of 20 Bills is %d \n",bill_20); } //Calculates 10s if(value==10) { bill_10 = 1; value = value%10; printf ("No of 10 Bills is %d \n",bill_10); } printf("Press 1 for a new transaction and 0 to exit\n"); scanf("%d",&a); if(a == 1) { dispenser(); } if(a == 0) { printf("Thank you!!"); exit(0); } } /*Safety for increments of 10*/ else { printf ("Please Enter in Multiples 10 only, thank you \n\n"); dispenser(); } } and I have to meet my teacher's demands to have it use pointers, and to pass the variables to the function instead of just using global variables. I have NO idea how to do this. I can't program to save my life, I got this code from my roommate lol. If anyone can give me an idiot friendly step by step guide, or could just be gracious and fix it, I would be eternally grateful.
OK, so the first step is to make the variables local to main, so change: Code: int value,rem,bill_50,bill_20,bill_10; void dispenser(); int main(void) { to: Code: void dispenser(); int main(void) { int value,rem,bill_50,bill_20,bill_10; Then dispenser() needs redefining to take pointers to these as parameters. You should have something somewhere in your course notes that shows an example of a function that takes pointer arguments. Then within dispenser, change the references to these variables from simple "value" references to pointer references, i.e. "*value" (assuming you keep the same names). For example: Code: if(*value>=50)
