what does this code do

[maher5]

hi i had some help completing my assignment which i still dont understand fully.

i dont know what this bit of the code means/do.

the assignment was the morse code convertion.




if(cinput[i] == 0x0a || cinput[i] == 0x0a) {
cinput[i] = '\0';
break;
}

i had the chars and ints defined as follow

int i=0;
char c, d, cinput[80];
char alph[]="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR .........";


char *morse[] = {
".-" , "-..." , "-.-." , "-.." , "." , /* a-e */
"..-." , "--." , "...." , ".." , ".---" , /* f-j */
"-.-" , ".-.." ............................


then i had the following code resulting in an error msg if input is more than 80.

for(i = 0; i < 80; i++) {
cinput[i] = getc(stdin);
if(i >= 79) {
while( getc(stdin) != '\n');

then that bit of the code comes in which i still dont know what it does..
thanks ..

It’s not entirely clear what code block you don’t understand. Repost, the code part you do not understand. You can indicate with a comment in the code the section you specifically cannot decipher. Remember to use CODE tags as specified in the sticky posts in the forum.
