hi, some might find this stupid but all i want is an answer,

(language C)
I want to write this loop

for(i = 0; i<lim-1 && (c = getchar())!= '\n' && c != EOF; ++i)
s[i] = c;

without using && or ||


so my answer is:

for(i = 0 ; i<lim -1; ++i)
while ((c = getchar()) != '\n')
while( c!= EOF)
s[i] = c;

is my answer right? is there anyother solution?

There are many ways to program... does the code that you wrote work?

well actually it doesn't work

so i am asking
if those two code phrase are equal ?

and if the second is wrong how is it right?

thanks for your help

Can I se the exact code that you are using? Use the cpde tags so thathe formatting is preserved, and then maybe I will be able to se what is happening.

thanks for your help

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAXLINE 1000

int getline(char line[], int maxline);
void copy(char to[], char from[]);


main()
{ int len; /*lenght of the string i just gave*/
int max ; /*the length of the biggest string*/

char line[MAXLINE]; /*save string i just gave */
char longest[MAXLINE]; /*save the biggest string*/

max = 0;
while ((len = getline(line, MAXLINE))> 0)
if (len> max)
{ max = len;
copy(longest, line);
}
if (max>0)
printf("%s", longest);
return 0;
}

/* getline : gets string length*/

int getline(char s[], int lim)
{ int c, i;

for ( i=0; i<lim-1 ; ++i)
while ((c = getchar()) !='\n')
while(c!=EOF)
s[i] = c;
if (c == '\n')
{ s[i] = c;
++i;
}
s[i] = '\0';
return i;
}
/*copy : copies to 'from' st 'to' , 'to' is big enough*/
void copy(char to[], char from[])
{ int i;

i =0;
while((to[i] = from[i]) != '\0')
++i;
}
the prgram is suposed to take a numbers of string and return the biggest of all of them
when i give it EOF (with ctrl-d)
sorry form the messy comments but there were in greek

the program didn't work after change the code (with the answer with no && and ||)
actually the the ctrl-d it doesn't work

i didn't get it how will i preserv the formating

By using the code tags. When you paste code, you surround it with tags that look like this:[ code][ /code]

Does that code even compile?

a man of it compiles


sorry i didn't get again

That code is a mess, but I think for your issue:

EDIT: Ignore this completely. I am soo tired at the moment that I am going crosseyed trying to keep the nestings straight.

thanks man i will try it
