My program is wrong, why?
First thing, when you show a piece of code, it is a good idea to make complete enough so that we can compile and run it.

Your code do not behave the way you expect, or you don't understand why !
There is an almost universal solution: Run your code on debugger step by step, inspect variables.
The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't know what your code is supposed to do, it don't find bugs, it just help you to by showing you what is going on. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.
To see what your code is doing: Just set a breakpoint and see your code performing, the debugger allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute.

The debugger is here to only show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.

The main difference with the debugger is that it initialize all variables with 0, even if not initialized in code, contrary to non debugged programs with do not have default value.
You can often have a variable declared in 1 place and used in another place.
long long int a, c, i, f, y, z;
During debugging, you can initialize the variables with fancy value so that when you see that value being used while debugger, you know you missed something.
long long int a=-12345, c=-12345, i=-12345, f=-12345, y=-12345, z=-12345;
