C programming help: for loops?

[rave]

hi...i know this is really basic

i want to display a loop of 10s
10
20
30
40
etc...

how do i go about it. i always thought i could do it using for loops.

for (x=0;x<=100;x+10)

but obviously not. can this be done using for loops?or do i have to use something else.

when i replace x+10 with x++ it works...but i want to count up in 10s

rather easy, lets assume that the loop will print as you mentioned, 100 times:

int i=0;
int number=10;
for(i=0;i<=100;i++){
    printf("number is %d: ",number); 
    number=number+10;
}

many many thanks...im totally useless at programming
actually...im useless at electronic engineering in general

just a hint: if you ever do Java too, its almost the same as language C, so if you have the same problem, basicly its the same as the above with "println" instead

probably going to learn C++ and C# after this. java is a sure thing. dont see why i have to know so many languages.any good resources for just C?most websites give C++ and the syntax confuses me eventhough its all structurally similar.bleh

worse thing is programming is not the weakest link in my course...its scientific priniples(where i have to calculate resistance and impedence and all that other crap)

Java and C++ are similar. Java and C are different, however. Try python out as well, I hear it's easy to learn. HTH

noh floppyman, nothing about python says easy. You have to load so many weird libraries. I know that after I did "easy python" i forgott Borland (C++). If I were to ever return to programming I'd go with Visual Basic, it completely rocked.

just what is " x+10" in C? Answer: 10 --->0+10=10; x is not incremented; x stays 0 forever, your loop becomes infinite!
shouldnt it be "x+=10"?
if u use x+=10, it should work. hth.

OMG!!! ITS AMAZING! IT WORKS!! woohoo....much more efficient that the first respose(but thank you for that Computer Nut)

now all i have to do is sit in a 4 hour exam and program useless number crunchers you can easily do with a pencil and paper

Heh, yeah, ive forgotten about that method. I should remember to use the variable+=number
