I am trying to construct some code such that it takes a user's input, runs one loop, takes the end value of that loop, and then runs that value through a second loop (I am also adding to a counter each time a loop runs and printfing it at the end), this was my attempt at coding this:
{
float input = get_float("%s", "Input: ");
float w = input * 100;
{
int c = 0;
for (int q = w; q > 24; q = q - 25)
{
c++;
}
for (int d = q; d > 9; d = d - 10)
{
c++;
}
printf("%i", c);
}
}
The error I receive is error: use of undeclared identifier 'q'. I thought that, since it was used earlier in the code, it wouldn't be a problem to identify it later on, though obviously that's not true. Any advice on either now to properly declare 'q' would be appreciated- or perhaps my entire approach is simply misguided?
When you declare q in the first loop it exists only inside this one loop as a local variable
Declaring the variable outside the for scope will leave it accessible on the second loop
{
float input = get_float("%s", "Input: ");
float w = input * 100;
{
int c = 0;
int q;
for (q = w; q > 24; q = q - 25)
{
c++;
}
for (int d = q; d > 9; d = d - 10)
{
c++;
}
printf("%i", c);
}
}```
