Well, if the exe is win32, it will run, and try to use the other files that were provided with it.

Hi christian
My question is , Why not MS provide us with a valid message instead of misleading one that points to a memory issue ?

Your question makes no sense. MS is not misleading you at all. They are running the exe you have provided, it's trying to read the files that came with it, and failing to do so. If I put datsun parts in my ferrarri, is it the ferrarri's fault if it doesn't know how to use them ?

Hello world... please help

Because windows would expect this module to be in the PE format. I guess that somewhere in the PE header there would be a field indicating the amount of memory needed to load and run the module. The file you have probably has some huge number at this offset that windows is interpreting as the memory size required.

i need to write these commands only and run:

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
printf("Hello\n");
}

A step by step tutorial on Visual Studio 2005 please...

Dont need other libraries such stdafx.h and other code such :

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
return 0;
}

Just want to run the command above without any errors just i did in my lesson ,but in Visual Studio 6

Thanks

Do what I said to do before - go to File/New/Project. Select Visual C++/Win32.

Now create a Win32 Project. Enter a name and click OK. Now click on 'Application Settings' and choose 'console application' Deselect precompiled header and choose 'empty project'

Now right click on the project name in the solution explorer and choose add/new item. Click on 'code' and C++ file. Type in main.c, and click OK. Put your code in, and VC++ will know it's a C project, and it iwll compile and run just fine.

The one thing is, the app will not pause for you to see the output, you need to add a line to read text, or set a break point, in order for the window to not open and close again right away.

That's what i mean a tutorial!

But i am stupid...
I doubled clicked in the end of the code and Click On Insert a breakpoint. Nothing apears,like a console,when i click compile!

what should i do??

Do you know the code for something like this ??

Until ten asterisks ?

Thanks a lot man! you are great!

Inserting a break point will just put a dot there, it won't do anythng until you run it, and only then if it's within the code that gets run.

Yes, but that would be a homework question. What do you think the answer would be ? I'd do it using a nested loop.

I finally ran that damn Hello World! i am proud ! lol

Yep this is an exercise for today in my class... Can you tell me the way if it is ok please?

is there any specific place i should put that breakpoint,cause after the console apears ,it stucks and i have to close is through the task manager

Christian Graus13-May-07 19:12

You'd do better to add a line that reads input from the console. The point of a breakpoint, is that the program stops and you can examine variables and start it again.

I added a scanf before printf and added a breakpoint a step back of } .. it works great but why the console stucks there and no responding?do you think it is a Visual Studio problem ?

Christian Graus13-May-07 19:30

13-May-07 19:30

No, the console gets stuck because that is what a breakpoint is for. You need to add a line AFTER the printf, if you want the program to stop and let you see the printf output.

Regarding your assignment, what you need to do is have two loops, that's called a nested loop. One loop controls the number of lines you print, the other loop prints the number of #s in the line. Have you covered for loops in class ?

A half an hour about FOR and a statement about do while,nothing more.
I think you didnt get me.My english are not so good.

I added a breakpoint after printf just like this:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int a;
scanf("%d",&a);
printf("Hello\n");
BREAKPOINT
}

I mean not responding.I have to press CTRL + ALT + DEL to close it from there.
That this happens with the breakpoint embedded.Without it it works great but i cannot see the printf.With it i can but it crushes!i finally found the word i need! Smile | :)

Can you please tell me the code about that program with the asterisks? with do...while at least.It is too difficult to find it out.

Christian Graus13-May-07 20:39

If you add a break point, the program will stop. If it crashes, then it's broken. If you did what I suggested, then you wouldn't need a breakpoint.

main()
{
int a;

printf("Hello\n");

scanf("%d",&a);
}

This will stop and wait for you to enter a number.

No - the point of your course is that you learn both C, and how to do a little research. I've told you all you should need to know. The next step is to ask yourself, what does 'do while' do ? How can it be used to create this output you're after ? What data do you need to generate that output ? Think about it in small steps. If you still can't work it out, you need to speak to your teacher for some help, so she knows your level of ability and the difficulty you're having and can tailor her efforts to helping you understand these basic concepts.

Re: Hello world... please help [modified]

13-May-07 20:44

Your are right... thanks for your help!

so far i found this:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int num;
for(num=0;num<=10;num++)
printf("*\n");
}

I know how to show the first numbers like 1,3,5,7,and i think it works the same way but nothing so far!

The output of this code will be:

*

so on... till ten times

Edit: it repeats itself 11 times (I didn't realize about the i <= 10)

this is a good start. Now think, how many times does this loop fire ? The answer is 11. You want to do this:

for(num=1;num<11;num++)

to count from 1 to 10.

Now ask yourself, you want to print out 10 lines, right ? The first line has 1 * in it, the second has 2, and so on. So, how will you know on each line, how many stars to print out ? And, can you write a loop to print those stars out ? Then you just need after your loop to print a \n to go to the next line. Actually, I thought it was \r\n.

WakenDJ13-May-07 20:58

13-May-07 20:58

maybe it need to FOR loops?!

Christian Graus13-May-07 21:46

13-May-07 21:46

Right, you need a second for loop, this is called a nested loop

int i, k

for (i=1;i<11;++i)
{
for(k=1;k<11;++k)
printf("*");

printf("\n");

}

This loops 10 times. Each time, the inner loop counts from 1 to 10, and prints out 10 stars. How can you make it print out once the first time, twice the second time, etc ?
