[Dev-C++] RE: Program causes error

[Alan T. <ala...@3n...>]

Scone,
                Your syntax for the "for" loops is wrong.  For example,
instead of

                            for(u=1;u++;u<=((s/2)+1))

you should have written

                            for(u=1; u<=((s/2)+1);u++)

This is causing you to write past the end of the array "a", resulting in an
illegal operation.            --- Alan

Program causes errorThe program below causes an error on my computer, but I
don't know what it
could be.
Does anyone know?

Thanks, Scone
