I made a small C calculator earlier today, and I noticed it worked fine when the only operation it was able to do was addition, however when I tried to add subtraction, multiplication or division, it would simply not give an output, and I don’t know the reason for it as another calculator I had made before (although much simpler) was able to do a similar process fine.
I am very new to C and programming in general though (C is the first programming language I am just picking up) so it might just be my fault.
This is the code on my program for now:
int main()
{
int x;
int y;
int z;
char c;
printf("Number calculator advanced\n");
printf("please enter 2 digits\n");
scanf("%d%c%d",&x,&c,&y);
if (c == '+')
{
z = x += y;
printf("%d\n",z);
}
if (c == '-')
{
z = x -= y;
printf("%d\n",z);
}
}
as you know, I was expecting it to scan for the user’s math equation, and when a ‘-‘ or a ‘+’ was used, it would subtract or add both numbers, as it does for addition when it’s the only "if" statement that is used
The result I end up getting though, is this:
Number calculator advanced
please insert 2 digits
[example input:]
5 + 2
Process returned 0 (0x0) execution time: 19.943 s
press ENTER to continue
