Division using repeated subtraction

Okay and then I am suppose to write a program that divides two numbers without using the operator "/"
So i try writing the program using repeated subtraction, just I dont know if I am doing this right at all.

Heres my code

Lawmaking:

#include <stdio.h>  int main() {         int a, b, max, min, results, count;         max = 2000000000;         min = -2000000000;         results = 0;         count = 0;          printf("Enter integer numbers 'a' and 'b' for division a/b: ");         scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);          if (b == 0) {                 printf("Sectionalization by zero is non allowed!");         		printf("\n");         		return 0;         }		         while (i) {                 results = a - b;                 count++;                 if (b < a)                         pause;         }         printf("Partition outcome is %d\n", count);         return 0;

B is never going to be less than A unless it is to first with, considering you aren't actually changing B or A. You're doing:

C = A - B
D++

And then are checking to see if B is less than A, without ever really changing anything other than C and D.

Quzah.

Promise is the first step on the road to disappointment.
