I have plenty fg wil pay for good help thanks
ill take any help I can get and pm if u can do it all lol

This is a programming in C class

This is my assignment
Description:

Create a C program that reads in a stream of integer pairs,
each representing an (x,y) pair in the cartesian coordinate
system. For each successive pair of integers, display the
distance and direction traveled from one pair to the next.

You can assume that in each successive pair only one value
changes, so that travel is always right, left, up, or down.

{This would be like the locations displayed in the tracker.c
example from the "Conditional Statements" section in
Polzin's online notes (the x, y values.) }

Also, keep a running total of the distance between each pair
of points and determine the distance between the
initial/starting point and the final/finish point.

This is what I got so far.


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main ()
{
int x, y;
int b=2;
int a;
printf(" How many different Coordinates: ");
scanf("%d",&a);
int array[a][b];
for(y = 0; y <= a-1; y++)
{
printf("Enter points: ");
for(x = 0; x <= b-1; x++)
scanf("%d", &array[x][y]);
}
printf("\n");
for(x = 0; x <= b-1; x++)
{
for(y = 0; y <= a-1; y++)
printf("[%d][%d]=%2d ", x, y, array[x][y]); //Just to show what the array is holding.
printf("\n");
}

So basically I have the array but now how do I use the array to calculate the distance between points and keep a running total??

declare distanceTotal (a double) in the beginning of main

create a distance method

double distance(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2 )
{
return abs(x1-x2) + abs(y1-y2) //since only x or y is changing
}


create a direction method (or you can make one method for both functions where the distance and direction are returned into pointers passed as parameters

(idk what type you want this to return) direction(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2)
{
if x1 == x2
{
if y2 > y1
return //something for up
return //something for down
}
if x2 > x1
return //something for right
return soething for left
}


}


Call distance in a loop in your main that loops through all the points shy of the last one like so

distanceTotal += distance(parameters)
also call direction

then call distance(firstPoint, lastPoint) for the final distance

good luck on finding your answer.!!!

a quick and dirty example I wrote in python

I think he finished this already. Not sure why imp bumped.

he's just spamming to get his post count up. he did it to dozens of other topics
