Isaax OS help :(

[thegreatstudio]

There are some problems that i cant configure

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
	char help;
	int version;
	version = 14;

	printf("Welcome to Isaax OS!;");
	printf ("Please type help for commands!: \n ] ");
	scanf(%s", &help);
      if((help == "help")){
	printf("Available Commands:\n");
	printf("osver -- prints the version of this os");
}
else if((help == "osver")){
printf("your kernel version is: %d", version);
}
}

There are many things wrong with this post, for one what's not working on it? Is this an OS or just a program that acts like an OS? How are you booting it? What sector are you setting it to? Lastly, don't post your code and ask us to find the error that is very frowned upon in this forum.

Perhaps you mean you "can't figure out"?

You posted this on an OS development forum, but in your post you ask for help with a regular program.
An OS is a very special program, it is not an .exe that you can double-click on.

So if an OS is really what you want to code, read more here:
http://wiki.osdev.org/Main_Page

Anyway, here is the corrected version of your C program (not tested):

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) // return type int, and void for no parameters
{
   char help[100]; // array of char, not one single char
   int version;
   version = 14;

   printf("Welcome to Isaax OS!;");
   printf ("Please type help for commands!: \n ] ");
   scanf("%s", help); // missing quotation mark

   if (!strcmp(help, "help")) // this isn't C++
   {
      printf("Available Commands:\n");
      printf("osver -- prints the version of this os");
   }
   else if (!strcmp(help, "osver"))
   {
      printf("your kernel version is: %d", version);
   }
}

Use a loop.

You are in the wrong forum to ask such questions. OSDev.org is not where you learn general programming.
