I am trying to express a battery voltage as a percentage. My battery level is a (global) uint16 in mV. I have a 16-bit CPU. Here is my code: static uint8 convertBattery(void){ uint16 const fullBattery = 3000; /* 3V = 3000mV */ uint8 charge; charge = ((battery*100)/fullBattery); return charge; }...

Let's say I have the following code: int i = 0; func(i++, i++); The increment is happening right after returning the value? Is it guaranteed that the first argument will be 0, and the second argument will be 1?...

Consider the following C program #include <stdio.h> typedef struct s { int x; } s_t; int main() { int x; s_t a; scanf("%d", &x); if (x > 0) { s_t a; a.x = x; } printf("%d\n", a.x); } The a struct variable in the if branch clearly shadows the a...

I am writing a program that is sorting the lines from the input text file. It does its job, however I get memory leaks using valgrind. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> char* getline(FILE * infile) { int size = 1024; char * line = (char*)malloc(size); int temp; int i=0;...

This is a part of my program that I want to create a vector of struct typedef struct { char nome[501]; int qtd; int linha; int coluna; } tPeca; tPeca* criarPecas(FILE *pFile, int tam) { int i; tPeca *pecaJogo = (tPeca*)malloc(tam*sizeof(tPeca)); if (pecaJogo == NULL) return NULL; for (i =...

#include <stdio.h> #define rows 500 //can define rows as any number int main() { int i,j; for(i=0;i<=rows;++i) { for(j=0;j<(2*i+1);++j) { printf("* "); } printf("\n"); } return 0; } So here is my code, what it does is it prints the number of rows set by #define and creates a right...

While elaborating an answer for another question (by myself), I've come up with the idea of using a MessageBox to report the result of my dialog box. It is a WinAPI modal dialog box created with the DialogBox() function. However, I noticed that handling WM_DESTROY in the dialog's procedure function...

How to implement NUR (Not used recently page replacement algorithm) using any high level programming language (c, c++ or java)
c++,c
So following: double t = 244.233; int a = (int) t; is not undefined behaviour since 244 can fit inside int did I get it right? Otherwise if it was larger value instead of 244 which didn't fit inside int this would be undefined, did I get it right? I...
