Simple login program - Crashes :(

HI guys,

This is my code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define name1 "denny"
#define pass1 "123"

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

    if(argc != 3)
    {        
        printf("Usage: login Your_Username Your_Password\n");
    scanf(argv[1],"%s", &name); // to read username argument
    scanf(argv[2],"%s", &pass; // to read password argument

    }

    name = argv[1];
    pass = argv[2];    

    if(strcmp(name,name1) == 0 && strcmp(pass,pass1) == 0)
       printf("Correct username and password\n");
    else
       printf("Wrong username and password\n");

    return 0;
}

Im very new to C coding, but I was kind of hoping this would work and it doesnt! It crashed the program and says it cant debug. Can anyone help me.

Learn what scanf does, or at least the parameters it is expecting:

Your name and pass character pointers don't point anywhere. You should point them at the arguments you are trying to use as comparison.
