Oh, one more thing. To use atoi() you have to #include <stdlib.h>

i want to assign fx * to a b and print afterwards

>> i want to assign fx * to a b and print afterwards

Huh??? Can you explain that statement? What is fx * ? What is a b ?

rsjetty

simply use the function convert_fxstar_to_ab_andPrint();
note you need to include the header "fxab_utilities.h" !!!

RONSLOW

No need for that .. just say
ab = fx*;
print = fx*;
this avoids the need for the "fxab_utilities.h". This does require the fx* language extensions to avoid syntax errors :-)

alexo

And the autograder hits again!

I'll never understand those users...

RONSLOW

I couldn't even understand the question !!!

rsjetty

So it's done finally ...eh.
wonder why the autograder didn't appreciate fxab_utilities ...???

ASKER

how the f**** du i grade this answer??????????????????????????????????????????.
There used to be room for that?????????????

RONSLOW

Well .. what you do is select a grade BEFORE EE autogrades it.

If you leave a question too long EE autogrades and closes on the assumption that you don't care anymore (perhaps you've forgotten all about it, or got run over by a bug or ...)

You last comment was about 3 weeks ago. That is too long for EE - see the FAQ and help for more info about this.

And what on earth did your question mean anyway???

ASKER

I have worked it out, all I need now is to grade the answer, ok?

alexo

The EE software automatically graded it since there was no traffic for three weeks. The autograde is "C". If you have any problem with that, complain in the "Experts Exchange" area (https://www.experts-exchange.com/topics/experts-exchange) but I suggest you read https://www.experts-exchange.com/info/faq.htm before you do.

ASKER

ok, sorry but i had forgot about my question and dident grade it, hope you can forgive me?

rsjetty

hey hh,
alexo is right.
Leave the EE-AG alone ...

ASKER

i will, thx all

alexo

Just out of curiosity, how would you grade the answer?

ASKER

I think it would have been c/b, the autograde sounds fair

RONSLOW

BUT WHAT DID THE QUESTION MEAN ???

Does _anyone_ understand what "i want to assign fx * to a b and print afterwards" actually means?

alexo

ASKER

STOP this thread, i have figured it out, and I dont want any more mail from this question:
agree??

once again thx all

later

RONSLOW

OK .. it sounds like this question will remain one of the great unsolved mysteries.

If you could share your solution with the rest of us, hh, it would be appreciated. These questions get added to the PAQ (previously asked quesrtions) database, and other customers are free (after paying points) to look it up. If they do so, then they could be a little annoyed in that the question appears to be, to put it bluntly, gibberish.

Can you PLEASE restate (preferably in a way that makes sense to someone else) WHAT it was you wanted to know and what the solution was that you found. Just for the record?
