I'm taking the XED course "CS50" and now i'm stuck at pset4.

So far i have managed to resize the images footprint and managed to resize one of the given images by a factor of 2 and 4, but with a factor of 3 it does not work. and i have yet to get the padding to work on images that need that. Here are some of the images of the results of the program

Under are my 2 source codes. Have written one using the recopy method and one using the rewrite method. but got the same problem in both programs.

Recopy method:

A lot(!) of code, i know, that's why i'm so frustrated when i got 2 methods working the same way with the same faults... I can provide the pictures in question if needed but the code should work on all 24-bit uncompressed BMP 4.0 images. resizing a 12*12px by a factor of 2 and 4 is OK, but 3 fails... Also an 3*3px image fails any factors and the smiley face of 8*8px also fails. Thank you in advance!

Note that the padding of input and output file might be different, so use two variables for those. Also, an input line does contain a different number of pixels than an output line, you might want to use input file dimensions instead of output file dimensions in some places.

  • Awesome answer dude! Just what i needed without it being to obvious so i had to think and draw it out. Thank you so much!
