I need help with this problem: Given a series of numbers separated by spaces, find the maximum sum from some consecutive number subset of the numbers. For ex. if we give you the set of numbers: 10 12 -3 -4 12 -13 3 -35 7 8 9 12 -2 -3 15 -6 -2. The maximum sum from a consecutive subset of numbers is 7+8+9+12-2-3+15=46. You should accept as input the set of numbers and produce as output the max sum from that set of numbers. All I know how to do is input the numbers. I input them in a string, however, I do not know how to work with numbers in a string. Any help is greatly appretiated. Thanks

Why not input them as numbers using scanf? This code will input the entire line (or file) as long as it's only numbers. int arry[100]; int i=0; for (i=0; scanf("%d",&arry[i]) == 1; ++i) continue; After the loop, i will tell you how many numbers are in the array. You should probably add a check that you don't input more than the array will hold. If you want/have to input as strings, use atoi() to convert a string to an int. int i; char numString[100] = "123"; i = atoi(numString);

Thanks for the help, I'm trying it out today. I'll post again if I need more help. Thanks again

Hey, I don't have any experience with scanf. I used the code you posted but then I don't know how to work with the input or get any output. I'm actually in a hs class, and our teacher gave us this problem to prepare for a contest. The problem is, he doesn't even know how to complete the problem. So we've been trying to research a little bit, but most of the code like scanf just looks foreign. So if you could post something a little more specific or maybe some example code, we would appreciate it. Thanks again
