macOS Why am I multiplying when I want to divide (C)?

[lloyddean]

I'd agree with that. More parenthesis never hurt, unless they're misplaced, right farmerdoug, and con only make things less ambiguous.

Xcode on Snow Leopard.

Is it C for PowerPC 32 bit?
Or is it C for PowerPC 64 bit?
Or is it C for Intel 32 bit?

,,,

Or is it Objective-C++ for ARM?

Yes, very odd. Haven't got a clue. pagesize is defined as

#define rows 10
#define cols 45
#define element 12
#define pagesize rows*cols*element

Instead of asking questions all the times and having anyone guess because you don't give important information again and again and again and again, I'll ask you a question and I'd expect an answer from you, farmerdoug, and nobody else:

What _exactly_ happens when the macro "pagesize" is used in a program?

 

[Sander]

pagesize is #define to be 5400.

Who else had a hunch what was going on right at this point?

Raised hand, I did, I did ...

It's great that farmerdoug keeps at it, but, it's bad that the problem is alway that what's in his head is wrong and he won't share the real details that are in the actual code.

My guess is it's an attempt to take short cuts in dealing with other people. But the question is why and how to break him of the habit.
