btw i still hav a question abt tis program, it is a program to count then number of occurrences of each digit. At the "while" part, why shud we nid to put [c-'0'] and not [c] for the ++ndigit to execute tis program? Smilie
Code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	int i, c;
	int ndigit[10];
	for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
		ndigit[i] = 0;
	
	while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
		++ndigit[c-'0'];
		
	printf("digits =");
	for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
		printf(" %d", ndigit[i]);
}

ECVT(3) 						     Library Functions Manual							   ECVT(3)

NAME
ecvt, fcvt, gcvt - output conversion SYNOPSIS
char *ecvt(value, ndigit, decpt, sign) double value; int ndigit, *decpt, *sign; char *fcvt(value, ndigit, decpt, sign) double value; int ndigit, *decpt, *sign; char *gcvt(value, ndigit, buf) double value; char *buf; DESCRIPTION
Ecvt converts the value to a null-terminated string of ndigit ASCII digits and returns a pointer thereto. The position of the decimal point relative to the beginning of the string is stored indirectly through decpt (negative means to the left of the returned digits). If the sign of the result is negative, the word pointed to by sign is non-zero, otherwise it is zero. The low-order digit is rounded. Fcvt is identical to ecvt, except that the correct digit has been rounded for Fortran F-format output of the number of digits specified by ndigits. Gcvt converts the value to a null-terminated ASCII string in buf and returns a pointer to buf. It attempts to produce ndigit significant digits in Fortran F format if possible, otherwise E format, ready for printing. Trailing zeros may be suppressed. SEE ALSO
