I want to find a count of odd numbers and even number in a 20 element array using function and this is my attempt

#include<stdio.h> int oddeven(int i); int main(){ printf("please enter 20 numbers (without decimal)\n"); int x[20]; int i,search; for (i = 0; i < 20; i++) { printf("Enter the number %d \n",i); scanf("%d", &x[i]); } printf("Enter a number to search\n"); scanf("%d", &search); for(i=0;i<20;i++){ if(x[i]==search) printf("%d location %d\n",search,i+1); } int k=printf("%d",x[i]); } int oddeven(int i) { int size,odd_count,even_count,x[i]; for(i = 0; i < size; i++) if(x[i] % 2 == 1) odd_count++; else even_count++; }

Oh, now I get it. You can add a flag variable. Think of it like a boolean that is 0 if the search is unsuccessful and 1 if it succeeded. So, after the loop you check this variable. For example: int found = 0; ... for(i=0;i<20;i++){ if(x[i] == search) { printf("found it") ; found = 1; } if(found==0) printf("Sorry") ;

There are a few issues with the function. Firstly, the array x is local (in the main function), so the function oddeven won't be able to see it (out of scope). To be able to return both the odd count and the even count, you need to have as input some pointers to integers and change their value in the function. An implementation would look something like this: void oddeven(int* array, int size, int* odd_count, int* even_count) { int i; for(i=0; i<size; i++) { if(array[i] % 2 == 1) *odd_count++; else *even_count++; } } To call this function, you would write (in main) : int odd, even; oddeven(x, 20, &odd, &even); The results would be stored in variables odd and even

The problem is the if-else statement. If you have a positive odd number, the odd counter won't be updated, because the c1 counter will be increased and the other cases (else) won't be tested. You can change it like this: if(x[i] >0) c1++; else if(x[i] <0) c2++; else c3++; if(x[i] % 2 == 0) c4++; else c5++;

You can add something like: printf("Sorry\n") ; outside of the loop. What do you mean by count searching result?

#include<stdio.h> void count(int x[]); int main(){ printf("please enter 20 numbers (without decimal)\n"); int x[20]; int i,search; for (i = 0; i < 20; i++) { printf("Enter the number %d \n",i); scanf("%d", &x[i]); } printf("Enter a number to search\n"); scanf("%d", &search); for(i=0;i<20;i++){ if(x[i]==search) printf("%d location %d\n",search,i+1); if(x[i]!=search) printf("sorry\n"); } count(x); } void count(int x[]) { int i,c1=0,c2=0,c3=0,c4=0,c5=0; for(i=0;i<20;i++) { if (x[i]>0) c1++; else if (x[i]%2==0) c4++; else if(x[i]%2==1) c5++; else if(x[i]<0) c2++; else c3++; }
