Edit: I made some changes at my code.
I want to write a line fitting program by using the data from two .txt file. The code is as following:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int data_read(char programs_x[], char programs_y[]) {
int i=0, j=0, k;
int numProgs_x=0;
int numProgs_y=0;
char line_x[1024];
char line_y[1024];
FILE *file_x;
FILE *file_y;
file_x = fopen("data_x.txt", "r");
file_y = fopen("data_y.txt", "r");
while(fgets(line_x, sizeof line_x, file_x)!=NULL) {
//check to be sure reading correctly
//printf("%s", line_x);
//add each filename into array of programs
programs_x[i]=strdup(line_x);
i++;
//count number of programs in file
numProgs_x++;
}
while(fgets(line_y, sizeof line_y, file_y)!=NULL) {
//check to be sure reading correctly
//printf("%s", line_y);
//add each filename into array of programs
programs_y[j]=strdup(line_y);
j++;
//count number of programs in file
numProgs_y++;
}
fclose(file_x);
fclose(file_y);
return 0;
}
int main ( void ) {
int i, j, k, n=1024;
float s1=0,s2=0,s3=0,s4=0,a,d,b;
char programs_x[1024], programs_y[1024];
data_read(programs_x, programs_y);
for(i=0;i<n;i++) {
scanf("%f", &programs_x[k]);
}
for(i=0; i<n; i++){
scanf("%f", &programs_y[k]);
}
for(i=0;i<n;i++) {
s1=s1+programs_x[i];
s2=s2+programs_x[i] * programs_x[i];
s3=s3+programs_y[i];
s4=s4+programs_x[i] * programs_y[i];
}
d=n*s2-s1*s1;
a=(s2*s3-s1*s4)/d;
b=(n*s4-s1*s3)/d;
printf("\nThe values of a and b are : %f\t%f\n",a,b);
printf("\nThe Required Linear Relation is : \n");
if(b>0){
printf("\ny=%f+%fx\n",a,b);
}
else {
printf("y=%f%fx",a,b);
}
return 0;
}
When I try to compile this code, the compiler shows these error:
Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland
test3.c:
Error E2349 test3.c 22: Nonportable pointer conversion in function data_read
Error E2349 test3.c 33: Nonportable pointer conversion in function data_read
*** 2 errors in Compile ***
How do I fix the errors? Where did I make mistakes in declaring and calling the data types? I'm pretty sure I declare programs_x
and programs_y
as char
this time and not int
.
