/prog/ - C is hard -.-"

float ran();//Returns a float value in the range [0.0,2.0]



int main(int argc, char *argv[]){



  long double return_value=0.0;

  unsigned integer x,y=0;



  y-=1;



  for(x=0;x<y;x++)return_value+=ran();



  return_value/=y;





 return (int)return_value;





}

What are the chances of this program ending correctly?

100%.

If by correctly, you mean deterministically, then 0%.

I'm not a fag so I make MORE READABLE with TYPEDEF
#typedef int integer

is it better than
#define integer int
?

Congratulations, I cringed.

Still better than typedef char *LPCSTR;

is the distribution of the return value of ran() flat?
if so, answer should be 50%, no?

y = -1;
for(x=0;x<y;x++) return_value += ran(); <- never executes

unsigned

This is because you are using a language that discourages higher level thinking and encourages primitive thinking. C is teaching you to be a programming ape. What you need is a language that lets you think about the problem/solution, not one that gets in your way with silly things like syntax.

If it ain't Lisp, it's crap.
