Why the variablle's value is so weird

[yezi]

HI:

The code I write is :

static int numTrial;
static float perCentage;
static int gapValue;
static int inValue;
for( gapValue = inValue; gapValue <= MAX_GAP; gapValue = (gapValue +
GAP_STEP)){

for (perCentage = 0.0; perCentage <= 1.0;perCentage = (perCentage
+0.1)){

for (numTrial = 0; numTrial < 5 ; numTrial ++){

Send packet sequence to the End Node;

printf("gap %d, percentage %d,Numtrial
%d\n",gapValue,perCentage,numTrial);
}
}
}

Suppose the percentage should be 0.0. 1.0, 2.0 . however the value is
0.0 , -1610612736
The numTrial should be 0, 1,2,3,4,, however the value is 0,1069128089.

Why, is my declariation sth wrong, if I delete the "static", same thing
happens.

Thanks for any comments.

This code is not valid, compiling C.
Provide a minimal example.

0.0 , -1610612736
The numTrial should be 0, 1,2,3,4,, however the value is 0,1069128089.

I would be puzzled if it did change the behaviour drastically.
Reread the parts about "static" in your textbook.

perCentage is a float, you're trying to print it with %d.

Please read your C book to learn about the format specifiers for
printf.

perCentage is a float, you're trying to print it with %d.

....and "percentage" is one word (no need for camel casing).

You lied to printf. You told it to expect an int as the second value,
and then gave it perCentage, which is a float.

Hmmm. I had to go look up "Camel casing", having never heard it
described as that before. Informative wiki article. Now I know
why I haven't head it. It was made up only 11 years ago, or
"yesterday". :-)

I have heard it referred to as medial capitals though.
