recursively draw the line

[Matt]

I am writing a recursive program to draw the lines recursively, given the
range[min,max] and number of intervals (n) between the range.

The problem is I don't know how to draw the line in point 0.375, as you see below.
Please advise! Thanks!
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void draw(double min, double max, int n);

int main()
{ draw(0,1,8);
}

void draw(double min, double max, int n)
{ if (n != 1)
{ double mid = (max - min)/2;
cout << mid << endl;
draw(min, mid, n/2);
}
}
The program output:
0.5
0.25
0.125

Here's the expected output:
0.5
0.25
0.125
0.375
0.75
0.625
0.875

C has no facilities for drawing lines.

That's not C.
The program output:
0.5
0.25
0.125

That's not a line. Those are numbers.

Sorry, but this a C newsgroup, there's also a C++ group in case you have
problems with C++. So let's replace this with

#include <stdio.h>
void draw(double min, double max, int n); int main()
{ draw(0,1,8);
}
You forgot to have main() return an int...
void draw(double min, double max, int n)
{ if (n != 1)
{ double mid = (max - min)/2;
You need to add the starting point of the interval here:

double mid = ( max - min ) / 2 + min;

(the mid-point between e.g. 4 and 5 is 4.5 and not just 0.5).
cout << mid << endl;
Sorry, this won't work in C, use instead

printf( "%f\n", mid );
draw(min, mid, n/2);
Now you're "drawing" the lower half of the interval but you forget to
also "draw" the upper half. You need an additional call:

draw( mid, max, n / 2 );
}
}

Regards, Jens

Try comp.lang.c++

Search under Bresenham's Algorithm. Can also be used to draw ellipses ;-)
