C urgent help

[l0ngb1t]

it's been 2 years and half since i coded in C, so am refreshing my skills with this exercise

a) Write a function called eq3( ) that takes 3 arguments of type
integer and return integer. This function checks if the three integers
are equal. It returns 1 if they are equal and zero otherwise


b)Use the function eq3( ) to write a program that prompts the user to
enter three positive numbers continuously until the user enters any
character and each time the program checks if they are equal to
display a suitable message on the screen

my solution was so complicated IMO can i find something simpler...
this is what i did... am not daring to test it it's 3:15am over here

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int eq3(int a, int b, int c){
if(a==b)
if(b==c)
return 1;
return 0;
}

int main() {
  int notchar=1;
  char buffer[200];
  int number;
  char *not_integer;
  int ints[3];
  int i;
  do{
  for(i=0;i<3;i++){
  if(!notchar)
	break;
  while(true){
  printf("Enter an integer: ");
  scanf("%s", buffer);
  number = strtol(buffer, &not_integer, 10 );
  if (*not_integer != '\0')
  if(buffer[0]!=null && buffer[1]==null)
  {notchar=0;break;}
  else
  {
    fprintf("%s is not valid.\n", not_integer);
    continue;
  }
  if(number<0)
	{printf("you entered a negative integers, you need it to be positiv\n");continue;}
  else{ints[i]=number;break;}
  }
  }
  if(eq3(ints[0],ints[1],ints[2]))
	printf("your integers are All equal");
  else
	printf("your integers are Unequal");
	}
	i=0;
while(notchar)
}

As I understand it this should do what you need for the first project anyways

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

int eq3(int a, int b,  int c);



int main() {
	eq3(57, 63, 49); // Not equal
	eq3(56, 56, 56); // All equal
	eq3(37, 37, 49); // a and b equal the same c doesn't
	eq3(29, 43, 43); // b and c equal A does not
	return 0;
}


int eq3(int a, int b, int c) {
	if (a == b && b == c) {
			printf("The values of a, b and c equal the same\n");
	}	
	else if (a != b && b != c) {
			printf("The values do not match\n");
	}
	else {
		printf("Numbers do not equal\n");
	}
	return a, b, c;
}

Take care Mabo

It would be better if eq3 returned bool instead of integer.

Here's how i'd do it:
(When i tried to post the code here AND on code.suck-o.com, i got method not implemented >_<)
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
