Trouble using a loop to add characters to an array of "strings" in c? -
so tried both datatype char , data type int. nomatter printf shows first letter of inputted word. example if inputs dog 'd'. guess maybe syntax of word[i] takes first letter im not sure how fix that. know how fix this?
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <time.h> #define pause system("pause") #define cls system("cls") void getuserwords(int *counter, int words[]){ int i; printf("how many words enter cross word puzzle\n"); scanf("%i",&*counter); for(i=0; < *counter; i++){ printf("please enter word #%i\n",i+1); scanf("%s",&words[i]); printf("the word %c added crossword puzzle\n",words[i]); pause; cls; }//end printf("your words have been added crossword puzzle"); cls; }//end getuserwords
if read c library documentation relating printf() , friends, remember "%c" format string single characters. if want print string terminating null, should use "%s".
you have:
printf("the word %c added crossword puzzle\n",words[i]);
but should have
printf("the word %s added crossword puzzle\n",words[i]);
also, make sure second arg function has enough space allocated store counter
words.
