C programming HELP!!

How do I make the following code using C programming:
Create a program that has the following fields & capabilities:

fields:

type purpose
int Storage for the target sum

methods

name return type purpose parameter(s)
main void Gets the target sum from the user
and then calls getSeries. none
getSeries void Determines the first and last integers in EVERY series of positive, consecutive INTEGERS whose sum is the target sum. Output sent to System.out object. none

For example, if the target sum is 30, your program would output the following:
THE FIRST AND LAST NUMBERS IN EVERY SERIES OF POSITIVE, CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS WHOSE SUM IS 30 ARE:
4...8
6...9
9...11

Obvious ``intro to programming'' homework detected.  Figure out how YOU would do this as a human, then once you have an algorithm, translate it into C.

Read SICP.

So...please don't make fun of me, this is what I have so far.. I am a super beginner at programming.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


 int targetSum;

int getSeries(void)
{

      targetSum = 30;
   printf("The first and last numbers in every series of\n "
         "positive consecutive integers whose sum is ");
        printf("%d are: \n", targetSum);

        int length;
        for(length = sqrt(targetSum); length > 0; length--)
         {
         if (targetSum % length == (length & 1) * (length / 2))
    targetSum = targetSum * 2 / length - (length - 1) / 2 + "..." + targetSum * 2 / length + (length - 1) / 2;
         printf("%d",targetSum);

        }

     return getSeries;
    }

i changed it a little bit but only "THE FIRST AND LAST NUMBERS IN EVERY SERIES OF POSITIVE, CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS WHOSE SUM IS 30 ARE:" shows. What did I do wrong?


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>


 static int targetSum;

int main(void)
{

        targetSum = 30;
        printf("The first and last numbers in every series of\n "
         "positive consecutive integers whose sum is ");
        printf("%d are: \n", targetSum);



}

int getSeries(void)
    {
       int length;
        for(length = sqrt(targetSum); length > 0; length--)
          {
         if (targetSum % length == (length & 1) * (length / 2))
     targetSum = targetSum * 2 / length - (length - 1) / 2 + "..." + targetSum * 2 / length + (length - 1) / 2;
         printf("",targetSum);

            }

    }return getSeries;

What in the actual fuck...?

ENJOY

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int count = 0, input;
int main()
{
    cout << "Input an integer value: ";
    cin >> input;   
    for(int outer=1; outer < (input-1); outer++)
    {   
        int sum=outer;
    for(int inner=outer+1; inner < input; inner++)
        {                   
        sum+=inner;
        if(sum == input)
            {
            cout << "solution "  << outer << "..." << inner << endl;
              break;
            }
        }       
    }
}

Just stop. All of you. My eyes are bleeding.

Wow you needed to google it.  Please get out and never come back.

It was a good start...

>>7
Isn't that C+?

>>11
No its actually C#

oh. gotchyaa. :)

THANKS >>7
But I think I needed it in regular C

#include <stdio.h>

void getSeries(int target)
{
        printf("THE FIRST AND LAST NUMBERS IN EVERY SERIES OF POSITIVE, CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS WHOSE SUM IS %d ARE:\n",target);
        for(int numToTry=1;numToTry<=target/2;numToTry++)
        {
                int sum = numToTry;
                int endNum = numToTry;
                while (sum<target)
                {
                        endNum++;
                        sum+=endNum;
                        if(sum==target)
                        {
                                printf("%d...%d\n",numToTry,endNum++);
                        }
                }
        }
}
int main()
{
        int inp;
        printf("Input your number: ");
        scanf("%d",&inp);
        getSeries(inp);
        return 0;
}


compiles for me with "gcc -std=99". To make it compatible with C89 you'll have to forgo the implicit declaration in that for loop.

goddamn i never knew there were so many shitty programmers on here

>>15
IT WORKED. OMG
GOD BLESS YOU

>>15
Oops, meant "gcc -std=c99" but it looks like you're not using GCC anyway.

>>17
Heh, you're welcome.

>>18

I was using GCC i changed like two things and waala!
thanks again

>>1
You are an Indian.

for Xarn's sake use code tags

All play and no work makes Jack a wise man.

>>21
Did you hax my anus? I was wrote up an angrier version of that but decided not to post it because nobody else who is going to make this mistake in the future is going to see it and learn to use the fucking tag before they post.

f# wins again - 1 compile only

let check n =
        let rec _check (x,y) = match (Seq.sum [x .. y]) with
                                                       | t when t > n -> None

        Seq.map (fun (Some x) -> x)

printfn "%A" ((check 30))
System.Console.ReadLine() |> ignore

>>34
replace the filter and last map with

 Seq.toList |>
 List.choose id
never re-implement dumb shit like that... my bad guise

>>35
or just Seq.choose id
i have to read msdn more

after checking it, there were some mistakes
here is the updated version

let check n =
        let rec _check (x,y) = match (Seq.sum [x .. y]) with
                                                       | t when t = n -> Some (x,y)
                                                       | t when t < n -> _check (x, y+1)
                                                       | _ -> None
        Seq.map _check [for x in 1.. (if n/2 % 2 = 0 then n/2 else n/2 + 1) do yield (x,x)] |>
        Seq.choose id
printfn "%A" ((check 30))
System.Console.ReadLine() |> ignore

LOL NO ONE THOUGHT TO CHECK IF N WAS ODD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO USED N/2
what the fuck is wrong with you people
