Clear standard input buffer for C program in Linux
Hello friends! i am writing a code in which i take inputs (numbers) from user and count the total number of positive, negative and zeros entered. I need to clear my standard input buffer before scanf() command. My compiler is completely ignoring the fflush(stdin) command. its not even showing any error!. I am using Linux(ubunto) platform. Help!

When I worked with client-server (socket) programming, I encountered "the socket error# 10055" which means "No buffer space available". This might be a symptom of one or more applications that didn't return system resources (like memory) properly. Temporary solution was to reboot the machine to... (7 Replies)

PROGRAM A <-> PROGRAM B
PROGRAM A sends data as STDIN ro PROGRAM B and when PROGRAM B is executed from PROGRAM A, it sends output back to PROGRAM A. This is implemented using 2 pipes (fd1 & fd2).
The above process happens in a loop and during the second run, the previous data that had been... (10 Replies)
Hello,
I am having trouble clearing the serial port buffer using the iclear and iflush commands. The code runs without errors being returned, but when I check the buffer again there is still data.
The only way I have so far is to read until there is nothing left in the buffer. Shouldn't one... (1 Reply)
I have a program R installed on Ubuntu under /usr/bin/R. I also have a different version installed under /home/user/R. I would like to invoke the locally installed program temporarily. How can I do this automatically by running a script and then switching to the default program?
thanks,

I'm running a ksh script that requires user interaction, and said users (myself among them) may get a little trigger happy and get ahead of ourselves and accidentally key in the wrong responses to future prompts in the script.
Naturally, I'd like to prevent that, so how does one clear that... (0 Replies)
Hello everyone,
Can someone please explain the input buffer behaviour for the read command in ksh93 on AIX?

num
Num(3o) OCaml library Num(3o)NAME
Num - Operation on arbitrary-precision numbers.
Module
Module Num
Documentation
Module Num
: sig end
Operation on arbitrary-precision numbers.
Numbers (type num ) are arbitrary-precision rational numbers, plus the special elements 1/0 (infinity) and 0/0 (undefined).
type num =
| Int of int
| Big_int of Big_int.big_int
| Ratio of Ratio.ratio
The type of numbers.
=== Arithmetic operations ===
val (+/) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.add_num .
val add_num : num -> num -> num
Addition
val minus_num : num -> num
Unary negation.
val (-/) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.sub_num .
val sub_num : num -> num -> num
Subtraction
val ( */ ) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.mult_num .
val mult_num : num -> num -> num
Multiplication
val square_num : num -> num
Squaring
val (//) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.div_num .
val div_num : num -> num -> num
Division
val quo_num : num -> num -> num
Euclidean division: quotient.
val mod_num : num -> num -> num
Euclidean division: remainder.
val ( **/ ) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.power_num .
val power_num : num -> num -> num
Exponentiation
val abs_num : num -> num
Absolute value.
val succ_num : num -> num
succ n is n+1
val pred_num : num -> num
pred n is n-1
val incr_num : num Pervasives.ref -> unit
incr r is r:=!r+1 , where r is a reference to a number.
val decr_num : num Pervasives.ref -> unit
decr r is r:=!r-1 , where r is a reference to a number.
val is_integer_num : num -> bool
Test if a number is an integer
=== The four following functions approximate a number by an integer : ===
val integer_num : num -> num
integer_num n returns the integer closest to n . In case of ties, rounds towards zero.
val floor_num : num -> num
floor_num n returns the largest integer smaller or equal to n .
val round_num : num -> num
round_num n returns the integer closest to n . In case of ties, rounds off zero.
val ceiling_num : num -> num
ceiling_num n returns the smallest integer bigger or equal to n .
val sign_num : num -> int
Return -1 , 0 or 1 according to the sign of the argument.
=== Comparisons between numbers ===
val (=/) : num -> num -> bool
val (</) : num -> num -> bool
val (>/) : num -> num -> bool
val (<=/) : num -> num -> bool
val (>=/) : num -> num -> bool
val (<>/) : num -> num -> bool
val eq_num : num -> num -> bool
val lt_num : num -> num -> bool
val le_num : num -> num -> bool
val gt_num : num -> num -> bool
val ge_num : num -> num -> bool
val compare_num : num -> num -> int
Return -1 , 0 or 1 if the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second argument.
val max_num : num -> num -> num
Return the greater of the two arguments.
val min_num : num -> num -> num
Return the smaller of the two arguments.
=== Coercions with strings ===
val string_of_num : num -> string
Convert a number to a string, using fractional notation.
val approx_num_fix : int -> num -> string
See Num.approx_num_exp .
val approx_num_exp : int -> num -> string
Approximate a number by a decimal. The first argument is the required precision. The second argument is the number to approximate.
Num.approx_num_fix uses decimal notation; the first argument is the number of digits after the decimal point. approx_num_exp uses scien-
tific (exponential) notation; the first argument is the number of digits in the mantissa.
val num_of_string : string -> num
Convert a string to a number.
=== Coercions between numerical types ===
val int_of_num : num -> int
val num_of_int : int -> num
val nat_of_num : num -> Nat.nat
val num_of_nat : Nat.nat -> num
val num_of_big_int : Big_int.big_int -> num
val big_int_of_num : num -> Big_int.big_int
val ratio_of_num : num -> Ratio.ratio
val num_of_ratio : Ratio.ratio -> num
val float_of_num : num -> float
