rand and bits need to change wording

[maria258]

Dear members,
how can i convert this language to mplab so that he knows that i want this bit. i have this code and if someone wants to really help please private message me cos i cannot share this code online.

furthermore,i have this part and need to convert it to mplab. this is to shift the bits right:
int x[4] = {rand()>>9,rand()>>9,rand()>>9,rand()>>9};

thanks
maria

the array initialisation statement compiled OK with MPLAB and MCC18

#include <p18f4550.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main (void)
{
int x[4] = {rand()>>9,rand()>>9,rand()>>9,rand()>>9};  
}

you are initialising the array with four pseudo random values
however, you should initialise the random seed by calling srand() before rand()

i am using pic16f877a with the stdlib.h, even though srand is used before the error "pointer required" is coming up 4 times for every rand.

using HI-TECH C Compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCUs I don't get "pointer required" I get

Error   [188] C:\Test1 - Copy\test1.c; 17.22 constant expression required

indicating one can only initialise the array element with constants
you will have to initialise at run time, e.g.

#include <htc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main (void)
{
  int i, x[4]={1,2,3,4};
  srand(100);
  for(i=0;i<4;i++)
    x[i]=rand()>>9;  
}

the initialise of the array is OK because I have used constants. I then use a loop to initialse with pseudo random values.

this is my bit of code:
#include <htc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

__CONFIG (0x3F72);

#define LEDS PORTB
//#define GLCD_DATA PORTD
#define DI RE0
#define R_W RE1
#define E RE2
//#define RS RE3 //need to change the port

#define CS1 RC6
#define CS2 RC7

void main(void)
{
unsigned char t;
int px0,py0, px1, py1, px2, py2, px3, py3;
int dx0,dy0,dx1,dy1,dx2,dy2,dx3,dy3;
srand(3522);

int x[4] = {rand()>>9,rand()>>9,rand()>>9,rand()>>9};
and it continues on....

still the same error

this works for me

#include <htc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

__CONFIG (0x3F72);

#define LEDS PORTB
//#define GLCD_DATA PORTD
#define DI RE0
#define R_W RE1
#define E RE2
//#define RS RE3 //need to change the port

#define CS1 RC6
#define CS2 RC7

void main(void)
{
unsigned char t;
int px0,py0, px1, py1, px2, py2, px3, py3;
int dx0,dy0,dx1,dy1,dx2,dy2,dx3,dy3;
srand(3522);

int i, x[4]={1,2,3,4};
  for(i=0;i<4;i++)
    x[i]=rand()>>9;  
}

ok, this worked for me for the moment. now ill implement its hex file to the graphic lcd.

Thanks
