My personal coding progress blog

Hi, my name is Matt. This is a blog where I can publish my own coding starting from a very basic level in order to motivate myself, and make sure I don't slip in to the habits of a deadline warrior. Also, by publishing it, I will hopefully push myself to make it of a good standard.

A mock for my 2nd in class test using 'if' statements. Not THE most efficient way of doing it, but it functions, and the code is fairly neat. I was happy with this.

Here is the source code:

#include<stdio.h> #include<stdlib.h> int main() {     int fuelType, engineSize, cost;     printf("Please enter 1 if your car is petrol, and 2 if diesel: ");     scanf("%d", &fuelType);     printf("\nPlease enter your engine size in cubic cm: ");     scanf("%d", &engineSize);     if((fuelType==1))     {         if((engineSize<=1900))         {             cost=30;             printf("\nYour running costs for 100 miles will be %d pounds.\n", cost);         }         else if((engineSize>1900)&&(engineSize<=2100))         {             cost=40;             printf("\nYour running costs for 100 miles will be %d pounds.\n", cost);         }         else if((engineSize>2100))         {             cost=50;             printf("\nYour running costs for 100 miles will be %d pounds.\n", cost);         }     }     else if((fuelType==2))     {         if((engineSize<=1900))         {             cost=35;             printf("\nYour running costs for 100 miles will be %d pounds.\n", cost);         }         else if((engineSize>1900)&&(engineSize<=2100))         {             cost=45;             printf("\nYour running costs for 100 miles will be %d pounds.\n", cost);         }         else if((engineSize>2100))         {             cost=55;             printf("\nYour running costs for 100 miles will be %d pounds.\n", cost);         }     }     return 0; }

Similar to the first, but this was a mock test. Formatting is horrible, I've since improved!

Here is the source code:

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() {     const float speedYPH=1.4;     float timeH, distance;     printf("The snail is travelling at %.2f yards per hour\n\n", speedYPH);     printf("How long (in hours) would you like the snail to travel for?");     scanf("%f", &timeH);     printf("You typed %.2f hours\n\n", timeH);     distance=timeH*speedYPH;     printf("The snail has travelled %.2f yards\n", distance);     return 0; }

One of my first calculations: Celsius to Farenheit

Very early program, I realise now I could improve the format of the out put with "%.2f", but I was happy at the time.

Here is the source code:

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() {     float celsius;     printf("Enter the number of a temperature in Celsius: ");     scanf("%f", &celsius);     printf("You typed: %f\n", celsius);     float f1=celsius*1.8;     float fahrenheit=f1+32;     printf("That translates to %.2f Degrees Fahrenheit\n", fahrenheit);     return 0; }

Intro post

Hey all,

My description explains best what this blog is. From here I'm going to post most of my code from the beginning when I started Uni. It will be very basic and some of it will be unfinished, but this should give me a kick up the bum to finish it in the future!
