How to increment counters based on a printed array
- by Sam Liew
I managed to developed a simple board of 5x5 using random numbers and array. Big achievement for someone like me! :)
Now I have to increment the counters depending on the frequency of the numbers.
If the value within 0-49 is printed..then nCounter++
If the value within 50-75 is printed..then pCounter++ something like that.
The problem is that I don't know how to increase the counters based on the printed board.
Here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main()
{
//Initialize Variables
int randomNumber;
int rows;
int columns;
int hdCounter =0;
int hCounter = 0;
int cCounter = 0;
int pCounter = 0;
int nCounter = 0;
//Declare board size
int board[5][5]; //size of board is 5 x 5
//Create the random number generator seed
srand(time(NULL));
//Assign the random numbers from 1 - 25 into variable randomNumber
//Create the rows for the board
for ( rows = 1; rows <= 5 ; rows++ )
{
//Create the colimns for the board
for ( columns = 1; columns <= 5 ; columns++ )
{
//Assign variable randomNumber into variable board
randomNumber = rand() %100 + 1;
board[rows][columns] = randomNumber;
//print the board
printf("%d\t", board[rows][columns]);
//calculate the frequency of numbers on the printed board
if (randomNumber >= 85 && randomNumber <= 100 )
hdCounter++;
else if ( randomNumber >= 75 )
hCounter++;
else if ( randomNumber >= 65 )
cCounter++;
else if ( randomNumber >= 50 )
pCounter++;
else if ( randomNumber >= 1 )
nCounter++;
else
continue;
}
//Newline after the end of 5th column.
printf("\n\n");
}
printf( "N \t P \t C \t H \t HD\n\n" );
printf("%d \t %d \t %d \t %d \t %d \t",
nCounter, pCounter, cCounter, hCounter, hdCounter);
}//end main
I tried replacing randomNumber in the if-statement with board[rows][columns] but I seem to get the same undesired results.
