2D arrays, strcpy and strcmp Problems

Hi again. Having quite a number of problems with topics in title.

My function is meant to do the following.

> strcmp textblock with wordlibrary.
> If the element of 'wordlibrary' isn't empty (hence the != 0 - i initialised 'wordlibrary[][]' = {0}), and if 'strcmp' says theres no match, then it 'strcpy' 'textblock' into the first element of 'wordlibrary'.
> If the word is repeated it just increase it's count.

Code:

char mytext[21] = {"my dog dog bill"};
char textblock[21] = {0};
char wordlibrary[10][21] = {0};
int frequency[10] = {0};


int wordplace(char textblock[], char wordlibrary[][], int frequency[]){

int f = 0;
//f is for word library and counter

while ((wordlibrary[f]<= 10) && (wordlibrary[f]!= 0)){
	if((strcmp(textblock,wordlibrary)) == 1){
	      strcpy(wordlibrary[f], textblock);
          frequency[f]++;
		  f++;

	   }
	   if((strcmp(textblock, wordlibrary)) == 0){
		   frequency[f]++;
	   }

}

	   printf("%s\n %s", wordlibrary, frequency); 

   return 0;

}

The errors i get are :

1. 'wordlibrary' missing subscript
2. '<=' : no conversion from int to char
3. '<=' : char [1] differs in levles of indirection from int
4. 'strcmp': cannot convert parameter 2 from char [][1] to const char *
5. Same as 4.
6. end of file before the left brace '{' at....address.

Sorry to be such a fuss. I HAVE tried to repair this myself, but i can't fix what i don't fully understand.

Any advice/help would be much appreciated.

Thank You.

First error:

Code:

int wordplace(char textblock[], char wordlibrary[][], int frequency[]){

In multidimensional arrays, you must supply the lower dimensions (all but the first set of [] MUST be filled, the first [] is optional (and ignored)).

I think you are missing a * or [] in your #2 error, as you are comparing a char array with an integer value (10). This is invalid - I'm not sure what you actually expected to have happen, so I can't recommend a solution.

#3 error would be same problem as #2 - comparing an integer with a char array.

#4 I'm pretty sure is related to #1.
#5 - Same as #4.

#6. You probably have misbalanced your braces for the blocks.

Also:

Code:

	if((strcmp(textblock,wordlibrary)) == 1){

I think you mean == 0.

Decided to go back and simplify things, so i got a better understanding of how things work. My question is, can i Loop the strcpy function?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

char wordlibrary[5][21] = {{"luke"},{"lukeson"},{"liar"},{"abstract"}, {"liar"}};
char wordbackup[5][21] = {{0},{0},{0},{0},{0}};

int f = 0;
wordlibrary[f];

while (f <= 4){
printf("%s\n", wordlibrary[f]);
f++;
}

/*f = 0;
int g = 0;
wordbackup(g);

while ((f<=4) && (g<=4)){
strcpy(wordbackup[g], wordlibrary[f]);
f++;
g++;
}*/

char onew[21] = {"system"};
char empty[21] = {0};

strcpy(empty, onew);
printf("%s\n", empty);

return 0;

}

I commented out my loop here, but when not commented out i get the following error.

Line 21. "Term does not evaluate to a function taking arguments


Please and Thank You.

> wordbackup(g);
It's an array, and you're trying to call it as a function (hence the error message about something not being a function).

Oh, and please fix the indentation before posting.
