SENTINEL CONTROL LOOP WHEN DEALING WITH TWO ARRAYS

[theblmamba]

Hello All,
I am having trouble controlling an array, can anybody please help.


Write a program to take two numerical lists of the same length ended by a
sentinel value and store the lists in array x any y, each of which
has 20 elements. Let n be the actual number of data values in each
list. Store the product of corresponing elements x and y in a third
array, z, also of size 20. Display the arrays x, y, and z in a three-column
table. Then compute and display the square root of the sum of the items
in z.

Analysis
inputs: data type double, int
1.1 n = be the actual number of data
1.2 x & y = ends by sentinel value and stores the list into x and y
1.3 z = display the square root of the sum of items in z
1.4 SIZE is 20

Outputs: x, y, z
2.1 x = 20 elements stored
2.2 y = 20 elements stored
2.3 z = the square root of the sum (20 elements)


Contraints:
3.1 length ended by a sentinal value

Formulas
1. none
2. ...

DESIGN
1. Library:
1.1 stdio.h
1.2 math.h

2. main()
2.1 Sub-step
2.2 ...

3. prompt:
3.1 Prompt the user to input data
3.2 Data table for X, Y, and Z

Using do/while keeps from having to duplicate your code.

do{
  //...
} while( arrX[n] != SENTINEL && ++n<SIZE );

for( i=0; i<n; i++){ 
  //...

Add the -lm option to use sqrt function.
