Does it have something to do with printf() inside another
printf().

Answer Posted / kurt s

The code example is horrendous. But the answer:

No, it doesn't have to deal with the nested printf statements. The printed statement would look something like this:

x=9, y=9x=9, count of earlier print=8

it places the first printf's arguments on the stack, which includes another call to printf, which is placed on top. The variable x gets predecremented, so when the nested printf starts to print, x will be 9. Before the outer printf can be called, the inner printf needs to return, and printf returns an int equal to the length of the outputted string, which is "x=9, y=9", a string of length 8. Note that this is still sent to STDOUT, printing to the screen.

The outer printf call looks like this now:

printf("x=%d, count of earlier print=%d", 9, 8);

Which prints "x=9, count of earlier print=8" to STDOUT, right after the inner printf's output, giving the string mentioned toward the top of this answer.

ld returned 1 exit status usually means there are unresolved symbols.

In a gymnastic competition, scoring is based on the average of all scores given by the judges excluding the maximum and minimum scores. Let the user input the number of judges, after that, input the scores from the judges. Output the average score. Note: In case, more than two judges give the same score and it happens that score is the maximum or minimum then just eliminate two scores. For example, if the number of judges is 5 and all of them give 10 points each. Then the maximum and minimum score is 10. So the computation would be 10+10+10, this time. The output should be 10 because 30/3 is 10.

I need your help, i need a Turbo C code for this problem.. hope u'll help me guys.? Your program will have a 3x3 array. The user will input the sum of each row and each column. Then the user will input 3 values and store them anywhere, or any location or index, temporarily in the array. Your program will supply the remaining six (6) values and determine the exact location of each value in the array. Example: Input: Sum of row 1: 6 Sum of row 2: 15 Sum of row 3: 24 Sum of column 1: 12 Sum of column 2: 15 Sum of column 3: 18 Value 1: 3 Value 2: 5 Value 3: 6 Output: Sum of Row 1 2 3 6 4 5 6 15 7 8 9 24 Sum of Column 12 15 18 Note: Your program will not necessary sort the walues in the array Thanks..
