Default udf begin_c_loop problems

I am trying to write a udf in order to count the number of cells within a certain zone in my domain. I will then input a source in this zone the value of which will depend on the number of cells. I am doing this because I want to make sure I get the same source value in different zones that will have different number of cells (it is a tetrahedral grid.).

My main question/problems are:

1) Have I understood correctly in thinking the udf will put the source value in at each cell.

2) How does the fluent macro begin_c_loop….end_c_loop work. I was hoping to use it to loop through the cells to count the number in my zone and then use a second loop to input the source value but this does not seem to work. How can I get it to move out of the first loop?

3)I have pasted my code below. I put in a print to screen command at the end of the first loop counting cells to check what was happening. All that happens when I run this is it prints out the number of cells, and keeps adding to them and printing them out. When I compile I get several warnings saying my x[1], x[2] are used uninitialised and for the final line it gives a warning "Control reaches end of non-void function."

Thanks for any help Abigail
