Stupid C program homework. NEED HELP!!!!!

[thespeakerbox]

I downloaded bloodshed, cause my moron teacher didnt give us anything to go by.
The first day of class and she hands out a paper that says
"write a program to calculate the volume of a box"

I cant get the program to work at all.
I named it a .c file and when i hit compile & run a blank screen comes up.
This is what i have so far.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

/*Homework assignment 1 */
/*Compute the volume of a box*/
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int length, width, height;
int volume;
scanf ("%d", &length),
scanf ("%d", &width),
scanf ("%d", &height),
volume= length * width * height;
printf("volume=%d \n ", volume);
}

If it's just a command line program this should work.

This assumes you don't have to actually make sure it's a number though

This isn't a homework forum either

He asked for a C program; not C++.

Is it possible that you're just getting a blank screen because it's waiting for you to enter the data that you're prompting for in the scanf statements?

BTW, even if you did want to use C++, I would probably use #include <iostream> rather than #include <iostream.h> and then each of the iostream related classes (cout, endl, etc) would all be the std namespace.

I dont even do my own homework.

I ran your code and got this output:

2
3
4
volume=24

As suggested, try supplying your program with input.

Add:

getch();

to request character input, thusly having the window remain on your screen.

Lol, you could add a line above your scanf statements like.
printf("Type some numbers here\n");

Just to remind yourself.

IIRC getch() is not ANSI C.

Yes, because the teacher needs to tell you to buy software to compile C code. Anyways, Bloodshed is quite nice. No need to buy some elaborate IDE when you're just starting out.

...go vim!
