Simple sine wave generator template in C

As i only used a limited amplitude on the sine wave generator for Arduino Due's DAC, im posting a template here that should help you make the necessary changes( someone asked me this).

This specific template code was written for C code in Codeblocks for Gcc, so you will have to be able to know the differences.

# include < stdio.h >
# include < stdlib.h >
# include < math.h >
# define n_points 32 //256 is ideal for microcontrollers or highers if youre computing complex sinusoids
int main ()
{
    float pi = 3.141592;
    float w ;    // ψ
    float yi ;
    float phase;
    int sign_samp;
    int sin_data[n_points];  // sine LUT Array
    int i;
    w= 2*pi;
    w= w/n_points;
    for (i = 0; i <= n_points; i++)
    {
        yi= 2047*sin(phase);
        phase=phase+w;
        sign_samp=2047+yi;     // dc offset translated for a 12 bit DAC
        //sign_samp+= b;         // Add adc value; Keep it at zero for pure sine
        sin_data[i]=sign_samp; // write value into array
        /*
        */
    }
    for (i = 0; i <= n_points; i++)
    {
        int k=sin_data[i];
        printf ("sine is %d\n", k);
        printf ("i is ... %d\n", i);
    }
    float x;
    printf ("Enter a number ... \n");
    scanf ("%f", &x); // keeps the debugging console on codeblocks open ;)
    return 0;
}
