C program help

[cwarrior]

Basically i have to write a program that will draw a face. like this one:

code:

hhh      hhhhhhhhh   hhh           hhh hhhh  O   O  hhhh   hhh     o     hhh    hh   \__/   hh      h            h      hhhhhhhhh

and i have to write the inside of the face in a function that takes 1 to draw the eyes 2 to draw the nose and 3 to draw the mouth
This is what i got:

code:

#include <stdio.h> face(int line); main() { char c = 'h'; printf("%7c%c%c \n",c,c,c); printf("%4c%c%c%c%c%c%c%c%c \n",c,c,c,c,c,c,c,c,c); printf("%2c%c%c%8c%c%c \n",c,c,c,c,c,c); printf("%c%c%c%c%c%8c%c%c%c \n",c,c,c,c,face(1),c,c,c,c); printf("%2c%c%c%8c%c%c \n",c,c,c,c,c,c); printf("%3c%c%8c%c \n",c,c,c,c); printf("%4c%8c \n",c,c); printf("%4c%c%c%c%c%c%c%c%c \n",c,c,c,c,c,c,c,c,c); } face(int line) {     if(line == 1)     printf(" o   o ");   else if (line == 2)     printf("   o   ");   else if (line == 3)     printf("  -   "); }

I do not know how to put the function face in the main so that it displays each line properly. As you guys see I have done work I just need help with that. Thanks in advance.

Your code seems - to be honest - like a pretty silly way of doing this.

#1. You're using %c to fill in a single character, stored in the char variable c, which is always 'h'. Why not just use h in the first place? Much more readable.

#2. Why is face() separate from the print statements above? I'd understand if you were pulling it in from a file, but you're not - it's hardcoded right there.

If this is for an assignment, it's helpful if you post the question / assignment text so we can know if you're on the right track, or if we're leading you down the garden path.

Assuming that all you have to do is output the face in text-art, what you probably want is something like this:

code:

printf ( "         hhh" ); printf ( "     hhhhhhhhh" ); printf ( "  hhh           hhh" ); printf ( "hhhh  O   O  hhhh" ); printf ( "  hhh     o     hhh" ); printf ( "   hh   \__/   hh" ); printf ( "     h            h" ); printf ( "     hhhhhhhhh" );

Unless your assignment says otherwise, there's no reason to make it any more complex than that.

It needs to print the inside of the face using the function face; The eyes with a 1, the nose with a 2, the mouth using a 3.
so how can I do that with the function.

Make this simple - forget about the hhhh bit and just concentrate on getting the face to output.

Try the following code in your main() method. Once you figure out how it does that, you should be able to extrapolate how to draw the rest of the face:

code:

printf("%8c\n", face(1) ); printf("%8c\n", face(2) );
