Problem With simple program

[hurgh]

Hi, how are you all,

I am just starting out teaching myself C, and the C++, and i have written a simple program that is ment to produce:

XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX

But instead it just makes a 10 line space, meaning it has like 10 new lines and no X's.

Here is the source,

#include <stdio.h>

int x,y;

main()
{
	for ( x = 0; x < 10; x++, printf( "\n" ) );
		for ( y = 0; y < 10; y++);
			printf( "X" );
	
	return 0;
}

I compiled it on bot Windows, using Turbo C (the old old borland program), and that worked fine, then i tried to compile it on Linux Debian and that is where i have the problem.

This is the command line that i use to compile it on linux:

(assumes that the file name is ex0103.c)

gcc ex0103.c

Can someone please let me know what is wrong with the source code for linux, y does it work under windows but not in linux??

Thanks for your time

#include <stdio.h>

int x,y;

main()
{
	for ( x = 0; x < 10; x++, printf( "\n" ) );
		for ( y = 0; y < 10; y++);
			printf( "X" );
	
	return 0;
}

Try removing the semicolons.

Or, try this:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
    printf("XXXXXXXXXX\n");

  return 0;
}

From what I understand it seems like you want 10 X's and a newline, but it isn't happening?

Thanks Wynd

I didnt remember that there was not ment to be ; at the end of for statments and that, i removed them and recompiled it and now it works properly.

Thanks for your help.
