What's wrong with this?

[zer0_flaw]

This is C source code... not c++

#include <stdio.h>

int x;
int *xpos;

x = 13;
xpos = &x;

printf("%i\n",x);
printf("%p\n\n",xpos);

um what are i and n and why do you need a pointer

[zer0_flaw]

I need a pointer because I am learning C and want to learn how to use them. I want to declare a variable... make a pointer variable point to it, and then print the original variable and the memory location of that variable... aka the pointer.

don't use stdio.h usiostream just because i say so and i don't like stdio

#include <iostream.h>

int main(){
	int i = 27;
	int *pi = &i;

	cout<<"i="<<i<<"\n";
	cout<<"&pi="<<&pi<<"\n";
	return 0;
}

He specifically said C, so <iostream.h> is out. Even with C++, it is recommended that you use <iostream>, the newer header file.

Anyway, try changing the %p to a %i. It should print out the decimal value of the pointer.

Magiaus: the %i means print an integer, the \n is a newline.

zer0_flaw: Do you have a main function in your app?

[Magiaus]

yhanks bee man i new what the newline escape char was after i looked at his code closer i just wasn't familer with the 96i

plus i don't know straight c so.... i guess i shouldn't answer questions unless i know what i'm talking about

[CornedBee]

My bad side just won my internal discussion whether I should post to state that I won't comment on that or not.

Whatever...

[Magiaus]

ater debating i decided to post and say cornedbee is the man
