Hi Caleb. I am a teacher but I have great respect for the way you explain the things. This is a great tutorial for learning the C programming language. And for those who like to learn some more computer science: take a look at Caleb's tutorials on database design.
If you ever lose your job you can apply for a job at my school. If you want to move to *The Netherlands*, a beautiful country in Europe.

Really nice way of explaining this, thanks Caleb!

[nickolashoover]

Fantastic explanations; thanks for showing how to fix common mistakes too. It really helps with the overall learning process!

[hype_flp]

Your tutorials are incredibly well explained and super helpful! Thank you for that :D

Hey, thanks for the series. I was kinda struggling with the concepts of classes and objects until i saw your series on C#. Very informative. Now I'm taking the C course and it's been great. Keep up the great work

[mukamaisaac]

I've learnt it all from here. WOW

[danielwarzecha]

Thank you for making this so basic and understandable!

[spencernold]

%lf if you don't want an error when scanning a double vs a float

[gilttcn]

You are amazing sir .. btw how i will able to learn various languages as this c is my initial language

[yudiaditya]

Nice explanation bro. Auto subscribe. :)

[PunmasterSTP]

Casting? More like blasting...us with knowledge! Thanks again for making this amazing tutorial series.

Nice video easy to understand. Tho im having difficulties. Im trying to use scan with 2 user inputs and compare the numbers. Any help? Thanks

[jorgev.zertuche-rodriguez]

2:04 it's not necessary to use a double type for dozens, because you either have a dozen or you don't. I mean, the code is right, but I have never seen anyone buying 2.33 dozens of eggs.

The jokes and giggles after are what keeps me from leaving comsci lol

Dear Caleb
Thank you for your forensic explanations.
I understand the logic behind tute 13 - Basic Type Casting
Using the same logic why won't setting the user's input to a double data type not work?
This example won't work. Why not?

Thank you and very grateful for your hard work.
Drew

//To calculate the number of eggs to the nearest dozen
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{ printf("The number of eggs for the day is: ");

double eggs;
scanf("%f", &eggs);

double dozen = eggs / 12.0;

printf("You have %f dozen eggs.\n", dozen);

return 0;
}

Same thing.Can somebody please explain ho to make program which can take decimal numbers not only whole numbers.Thank you.Videos are good.No doubt

[bamfme]

why not just double eggs instead of int?

[sportbikeguy]

so i changed "int eggs" to "double eggs" and the %i to a %f, i got a warning on compilation, but upon entering 18 eggs i still got the answer of 1.5, is this an incorrect way of doing things? changing the integer of eggs to a double, so its no longer an int * int and the answer can be a decimal?

[multigladiator]

you could also just do eggs/12.0 then you automagically have eggs casted to double, right?

eggs/12.0f should do it for floats. Excuse fail questions I come from java and am pretty nooby C/C++ programmer yet

[rajasri.p]

😅why can't we simply change the int eggs to double eggs ???
