wow bit shifting so clever

if you are wondering why i calculate some abstract "len", its cause i am sleep deprived RIGHT NOW, but you know...
C AIN'T WAITING

The String.split(String s) splits the string into an array of strings in places where there is s in the original string. So you have something like "hello world!", and if you do "hello world!".split(" ") it will split the string into an array like this:{"hello", "world!"}
Then with the [0] he is accessing the first element of the array. 0 is the first element in Java and you access array elements by an index with square brackets, remember!

Thanks for your explanation.

I saw the comment, but I forgot the size is specified in the declaration, so I basically was like "you give me an array, but the memory is not allocated yet", which is wrong, thanks!

I am doing codewars fundamentals only right now, in between reading "The C Programming Language", and I am only on chapter 2, so yeah I know nothing about how all this stuff works.

@lowlight

your malloc() doesnt do anything, it just leaks memory. it is overwritten by the first pass of your for loop. Re-assigning integers inside your function will not affect its value outside of your function. Besides, your are assigning an address to an integer, the compiler most likely warned you about this:

warning: assignment to ‘int’ from ‘void *’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]

This is because *integers points to the first element of the array; i.e. to an int. But even if you had written integers = malloc(...), this would make no sense, because the caller would not see the change: through the function call your are given a copy of the address of integers. If you wanted to change what integers point to, your function would need to take an int **, not an int *.

its not specified

It is specified by a comment in the initial code, which is still there in your solution:

assign function results to provided array

bruh. its not specified so i calculated the size and allocted that much with malloc

integers is already preallocated by the tests and it is ensured that it is big enough to hold the result.
The ++ just moves the pointer forward.

are you dynamically adding more space to the array with the *integers++?

Glanced over, and yes its the same algorithm. Yet it still looks better than my stuff lol

I had to implement addition by columns like in first grade, you know? For this to work...

Is this code the same type of thinking or what? Cause I don't feel like looking up libs you used

Had to implement fucking column addition for this to work, just like you.

This is torture. This problem wants me to implement an algorithm of summing that we did in first grade :)

If only you smarter fellas documented your code. THe world would be perfect. :/
