我无法运行c程序

I tried to run this c program in borland c++. It shows "expression required", while declaring the array int holes[size]. This is the only error that is shown. I tried to solve it but it still shows the same problem.

我试着在borland c ++中运行这个c程序。它显示“需要表达式”,同时声明数组int holes [size]。这是唯一显示的错误。我试图解决它,但它仍然显示同样的问题。

How can I solve this problem?

我怎么解决这个问题?

    /*
      *  C Program to Implement Pigeonhole Sort
      */
     #include <stdio.h>

     #define MAX 7

     void pigeonhole_sort(int, int, int *);
     void main()
     {
       int a[MAX], i, min, max;
       printf("enter the values into the matrix :");
       for (i = 0; i < MAX; i++)
       {
           scanf("%d", &a[i]);
       }
       min = a[0];
       max = a[0];
       for (i = 1; i < MAX; i++)
       {
           if (a[i] < min)
           {
               min = a[i];

       int size, count = 0, i;

2 个解决方案

int holes[size] is a variable-length array (VLA), a feature that has "only" been around in C for 17 years and is not supported by C++.

int holes [size]是一个可变长度数组(VLA),这个特性在C语言中“仅”存在了17年,并且不受C ++支持。

So it would seem that you either have a completely outdated compiler (Borland has not released any compilers for the past 10 years) or you are trying to compile C code with a C++ compiler. Neither will work.

所以看起来你要么有一个完全过时的编译器(Borland在过去的10年里没有发布过任何编译器),要么你正在尝试用C ++编译器编译C代码。两者都不会起作用。

If by "Borland" you happen to mean Embarcadero C++ Builder, then you merely have to tell it to compile the code as C instead of C++.

如果用“Borland”你碰巧意味着Embarcadero C ++ Builder,那么你只需告诉它将代码编译为C而不是C ++。

Otherwise, you will have to upgrade to a modern C compiler, like for example GCC/Mingw. For example by downloading the completely free Windows version of the Codeblocks IDE, which comes with that compiler pre-installed.

否则,您将不得不升级到现代C编译器,例如GCC / Mingw。例如,通过下载完全免费的Windows版本的Codeblocks IDE,该版本随预装的编译器一起提供。

in third parameter of function pigeonhole_sort you declare a pointer and in call statement you are passing an array

在函数pigeonhole_sort的第三个参数中,您声明一个指针,并在调用语句中传递一个数组
