This is my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
char c, *data, *temp;
data=malloc(sizeof(char));
int i, conta=0;
printf("Write hostname: ");
for (i=0;;i++) {
c=getchar();
conta++;
if (c=='\n') break; /* Se premo invio esco dal ciclo */
data[i]=c; /* Inserisco il carattere nell'array */
temp=realloc(data,(i+2)*sizeof(char)); /* do memoria aggiuntiva al puntatore (+2 per carattere NUL) */
if ( temp != NULL ) {
data=temp; /* Se la riallocazione va a buon fine assegno temp a data */
} else {
free(data); /* altrimenti libero il puntatore, stampo messaggio errore e chiudo programma */
printf("Error allocating memory!\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
}
/* Stampo la stringa letta, libero puntatore e chiudo programma */
for (i=0;i<=conta;i++){
printf("%c", data[i]);
}
printf("\n");
free(data);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
I would like to split my main into a function that will get user input (hostname, username).
I would like something like:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
function read_input();
int main()
{
printf("Write hostname: ");
read_input();
printf("Write username: ");
read_input();
for (i=0;i<=conta;i++){
printf("%c", data[i]);
}
printf("\n");
free(data);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
read_input(){
....
}
but i don’t know how i have to start to make this function…
I don’t know how to make a function that will return conta (for the for cicle), the pointer data (which must be freed and it is needed to print the output).
Have i to make a struct and pass it to the return into the function?
You can organize your code this way:
