I am getting weird results when i try:-
void MyFunction(int a, int b, int c){ }
int y;
void RunTest(){ for(y = 0; y < 8; y++){ MyFunction(0,y,1); }
instead of getting expected results 0-7, i get 20-24,30-32
i cannot figure out why!
When I pass a set value being the 0 and 1, no problem, but any other variable doesn't work!
thanks
Hello,
What do you mean by "results"? Are you looking at the value of y? If so, are you looking in the debugger or the simulator? In either case, how are you observing?
Oh, yes, the important question: what tool chain? avr-gcc? or something else?
Jim
expected results 0-7,
How do you expect this to be the "result"?
Your function does not return any value - so how can it have a "result" ?
i get 20-24,30-32
How & where, exactly, to you "get" that?
i cannot figure out why!
You haven't shown the code of your function - so how do you expect anyone else to be able to figure anything??
I pass the three variables to a serial out file, the first and third print as expected a 0 and a 1, but as i said in my first post, instead of the loop producing 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, I get 20,21,22,23,24,30,31,32, I am using atmel studio 7, for the atmega 328.
There is still a lot you are not telling us. How does 3, for example, get converted to something printable. Why not just show us all of MyFunction?
Also really important - how are you viewing the serial output? Did you know that, for example, 32 is the hex equivalent of the character '2'? You may just not be viewing the characters with the appropriate terminal settings!

I found out that I did not have the right base for Itoa(thought the 2nd int was string length when actually a radix(being the base of the number(10 for standard decimal, 2 for binary))), and have narrowed the issue to a switch statement, which the critical code is as follows:-
uint8_t TestInt = 0;
switch(TestInt){
case 0:{ break; }
case 1:{ break: }
default:{ break; }
}(and no, i do not thing "flush" close brace is neat (don't get me started!))
Edit:-
Fixed it, added breaks to the code, why is it a switch case has to have a break, other program languages do not, with exception of D(I think), is to make the switch system more "dynamic"?
thanks
Why? Because that's the way it is specified! Sometimes it works for you, sometimes against.

Really? The only languages I can think of right away that has no break are Perl and Pascal.
Languages that have break include: C (as you've just discovered), C++, Java, C# , Python..
What other programming languages where you thinking of?

Did you consider that if you don't have the "break", then you fall through to the next code -- as you have found.
That option can be considered a feature, unavailable in your [unnamed] other languages.
Examine, for example, "Duff's Device"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du...
