reguarding scientific notation

G

grinder

I have a program that fits a line to data points. The question is: can
'C' understand scientific notation (as below) , and if not what can i
do to make it work..

0.000 0.3240E+02 0.0000E+00 180.00 0.5658E+02


My data is primarily the last two columns.
I have written a script in AWK to strip columns 4 & 5, though i have
not tried to run this data file through my C program, i am fairly
confident that it will not understand the syntan.


Please help. praise the lord

hey knemon,

when i compile it in gcc and try to execute it , it says
permission denied . Doesn't mean the code is accessing any unknown
address , it should throw SEGV or else what can be the problem ??

hey knemon,

when i compile it in gcc and try to execute it , it says
permission denied . Doesn't mean the code is accessing any unknown
address , it should throw SEGV or else what can be the problem ??

You shell is saying "permission denied", I assume because the output
file from your compiler is not executable for some reason.

The program itself doesn't have any IO that would be likely to lead
to that message. The memory usage looks healthy, so SEGV isn't likely
either.

After saving the message and trimming it:

$ gcc -o ./message ./message.c
$ chmod 0755 ./message # should not be necessary
$ ./message

.... works ...

so i am to understand that i do not have to change the scientific
notation at all, and that C will understand the current syntax (in
reguards to the last column).

Yes, C understands syntax like "0.5642E+02" as scientific notation.

You are invoking either the compiler or the program incorrectly.
