My Journey

I'm feeling very disheartened, this assignment was for people with only a few weeks knowledge of C, I've been doing C for months and can't quite get this to work!

I've made good progress but the fact that this progress hasn't been swift makes me feel a little disappointed in myself as I feel as if my skills should be much more progressed by now.

Good news after the jump:

I'm taking a break from C for a day or two to work more on my Platform Shooter!

I know  I haven't given anyone much info on this so I'll fill you in now:

I'm having a lot of trouble with this assignment, as I did the first time around, except that was justified since I was new to C; this is inexcusable that I'm doing so terribly to make this program work!

I'll be working on it for the next hour or two but I'm not feeling very confident, maybe I'll do some more reading of my textbook on strings since that seems to be where I'm going wrong.

For those of you who understand programming, take a look at this code and have a good laugh at me:



For those who don't understand where I went wrong, here's what I stupidly did:

I set it so that if the user entered something that wasn't a digit, it would ask them to type a new value.

Alas I thought I was being clever by using "confirmed--" which tells the code to reduce the value of confirmed by one. What I didn't consider what that, if the user did it wrong more than once, the value of confirmed would plummet into negative numbers and the loop would last forever. Even if the user did enter a correct digit!

I'm working on fixing it now, I haven't had much time to work this week but I intend on catching up!

I'm currently working on doing my first assignment for my programming class; it was due about four months ago.

No, I'm not late, I'm actually doing it again with my newer superior knowledge than what I had then. I didn't receive a great mark, at the time I was really struggling with C mainly because I didn't have Engineering Problem Solving with C (3rd Edition) which was necessary to the course.

I don't know if I can post the code, in case it's a breach of university rules of something so I won't. But I'll let you know of my progress.
