Welcome to Stack Overflow. SO is not a code writing service where you dump a task and expect someone to just do all the work for you. Open letter to students with homework problems and How to ask homework questions: Make a genuine attempt yourself, show your code, ask a specific question. — kaylum just now

strtol and sscanf are the two tools that most programmers use for this. Personally, I recommend strtol, as that function is more robust. — Andreas Wenzel 26 secs ago

Nothing inelegant about this; I'd prefer keeping it over the proposed solution because it's much simpler and more readable/understandable to the majority of programmers.. Be careful how "trick" you make your code; if even one other team member has to put time into searching the net to work out how it works, when they could have just read a form they could already understand it automatically on the road to being bad code.. — Caius Jard 17 secs ago

I suppose, this question has to be 1) spitted into at least 2 separate questions: a) team-based workflows of devel b) Gitflow 2) both have to be moved to Software Engineering site and first suggested question can't be answered as "opinon-based" on any site — Lazy Badger 16 secs ago

critical skill to becoming a productive software engineer is to think about a question then zero into a set of underlying challenges each of which can be solved before stitching together those smaller easier simpler solutions ... I suggest you apply that here to think about your end goal then solve these underlying steps ... besides we are not your mother and do not give advice and as always post the code you have written in any question — Scott Stensland 41 secs ago

Probably no or very few C programmers here on SO know τ programming language. Semantically, τ seems closer to Lua, a simple programming language, than C. Without experience, we can only guess how the language behaves. But I tried to read the code, and for me several things to not make sense. You increment variable y by 10, but discard the value as calling f with w instead. Several local variables shadow variables in main1, leading to confusion. There are unused variables also. — prapin 30 secs ago

This forum is for posting errors in code that programmer encounter. It's better to search more and do some examples and if you receive error and won't find the answer, then post your question. If you want to talk about libraries and want to now programmers opinion post in software recommendation forum. Good luck. — Hamed_gibago 5 secs ago

That´s s fine. I suggest to click on gray displayed Delete link to delete (in real just hide) your question as it is off-topic for Stack Overflow in my opinion. It is not about code written by you on which you needed help by other programmers to get it working. It was just an installation issue. For that reason I voted already to close it with the reason being not suitable for Stack Overflow because of being a general hardware/software/installation problem. Thank you and good luck with scoop in future. — Mofi 28 secs ago

Stack Overflow is for programming questions. This might be suitable for one of our general-computing sibling sites, such as Software Recommendations or Super User — tripleee 6 secs ago

@aloisdg The list of topics you can ask about here explicitly includes "software tools commonly used by programmers", and there are 41 thousand questions tagged visual-studio-code, so you''ll need to be a bit more specific about why you think this one doesn't fit. — IMSoP 17 secs ago

@SoftwareEngineer Thanks. I'm not a newbie but this part has blown my mind. I tried your code. The result is interesting. Just updated the question. — Soroush Bgm 42 secs ago

@Amadeusz -- I have seen teachers work in the way you described. The reason why they do this is to have students that will not be good programmers drop out of the course, and only the 3 or 4 that are left will ever complete the assignment. It's a test to see how much of an independent study person you are. You mentioned "shunting yard" and other things, and maybe that's the whole idea -- for you to find these things out yourself and present it to the teacher. And of course, the other side of it could be that the teacher is incompetent, but who knows? — PaulMcKenzie 16 secs ago
