Running C scripts with terminal instead of Xcode

Question

Currently I am developing a couple of C programs on my mac using Xcode. There however is 1 problem. My study requires me to use some sort of input field through the coding.

HOWTO Pass command line arguments to your program from Xcode IDE

1. Open your project's active Scheme. Easiest way to do this is from the main menu. Select Product/Scheme/Edit Scheme...
2. In the schema editor, you'll see several build targets on the left side; the one you want is the "Run YourProjectName" target. Select it.
3. On the right side you'll see four sub-tabs, including Info, Arguments, Options, and Diagnostics. Select Arguments
4. Add/Remove any arguments you need. In your case, add /phi as the first argument, then 10 as the second.

Noteworthy: This is also where you can specify the current working directory of your program at launch rather than the long, temp path Xcode uses when building your binaries. To do so:

1. Perform steps 1-2 from above.
2. Select the Options sub-tab
3. Click the "Use custom working directory" checkbox.
4. Specify the full path where you want Xcode to execute your program from.

That in combination with getting your parameter handling fixed in your program should get you up and running.
