Does it have something to do with printf() inside another
printf().

Answer Posted / kurt s

The code example is horrendous. But the answer:

No, it doesn't have to deal with the nested printf statements. The printed statement would look something like this:

x=9, y=9x=9, count of earlier print=8

it places the first printf's arguments on the stack, which includes another call to printf, which is placed on top. The variable x gets predecremented, so when the nested printf starts to print, x will be 9. Before the outer printf can be called, the inner printf needs to return, and printf returns an int equal to the length of the outputted string, which is "x=9, y=9", a string of length 8. Note that this is still sent to STDOUT, printing to the screen.

The outer printf call looks like this now:

printf("x=%d, count of earlier print=%d", 9, 8);

Which prints "x=9, count of earlier print=8" to STDOUT, right after the inner printf's output, giving the string mentioned toward the top of this answer.

ld returned 1 exit status usually means there are unresolved symbols.

In a gymnastic competition, scoring is based on the average of all scores given by the judges excluding the maximum and minimum scores. Let the user input the number of judges, after that, input the scores from the judges. Output the average score. Note: In case, more than two judges give the same score and it happens that score is the maximum or minimum then just eliminate two scores. For example, if the number of judges is 5 and all of them give 10 points each. Then the maximum and minimum score is 10. So the computation would be 10+10+10, this time. The output should be 10 because 30/3 is 10.

A program that will create a movie seat reservation. The program will display the summary seats and its status. The user will be ask what seat no. to be reserved, then it will go back again to the summary to display the updated seat status. If the seat no. is already reserved then it will prompt an error message. And also if the input seat no is out of range then it will also prompt an error message. The program is continuously running. Termination of the program will depends on how the programmer will apply. Sample output: Movie Seats Reservation Summary of Seats: Seat 1: Available Seat 2: Available Seat 3: Available Seat 4: Available Seat 5: Available Enter seat no. (Press 0 to terminate Or the assigned seat capacity) : 1 Movie Seats Reservation Summary of Seats: Seat 1: Reserve Seat 2: Available Seat 3: Available Seat 4: Available Seat 5: Available Enter seat no. (Press 0 to terminate Or the assigned seat capacity) : 6 The Seat no. is out of range! Movie Seats Reservation Summary of Seats: Seat 1: Reserve Seat 2: Available Seat 3: Available Seat 4: Available Seat 5: Available Enter seat no. (Press 0 to terminate Or the assigned seat capacity) : 1 The Seat no. is already reserved! Movie Seats Reservation Summary of Seats: Seat 1: Reserve Seat 2: Available Seat 3: Available Seat 4: Available Seat 5: Available Enter seat no. (Press 0 to terminate Or the assigned seat capacity) : 0 GoodBye... Thank You!!!
