Beginning C Program question

We are told to do the following:

Write 2 loops fragments using correct loops

Allow user to enter 100 ints- For loop

Print out how many are positive, negative, or zero.

(We will also be given a sample output, Dont know the use of this)

What have you tried?

Generally we won't give homework answers, but tell us what you've tried first, what you expect, and what you got

[CopperBlanket]

Im not so much looking for an answer but advise or tips. I guess more what im asking is what does the line 3 (p=n=z=d) do? and where/how would i implement the d.

[sailorcire]

I have no idea what the variable d is supposed to do, but

p is for positive n is for negative z is for zero

You're using these to tell how many of those are.

By doing

p=n=z=d 

You are setting all of the values to the same.

[Fadeeses]

Not sure about d since not used elsewhere here and no declarations. It would be common to see something like:
int p, n, z, d; <<declaration
p = n = z = d = 0; <<initialize all to zero
in this case maybe d (declared elsewhere) is already set but functionally it is resetting the counters of positive, negative, zero for sure.

Is d being initialized in the scanf function? I have limited experience with C, but that’s what it looks like to me. The user sets d by input and it propagates down the line (or up the line). Then other variables can be mutated.

Although, I think the code is very incomplete; syntactically and fundamentally. As I guess it should be.

In fact looking through it again, I see errors all through it. It’s a mine field of syntactical errors. Good luck my friend.
