loading 2 character arrays in a row
I am having a strange problem. I am attempting to load two character arrays in a row. The program then sends one of the arrays to a function called binarysearch. The code looks like this:
Code:
strcpy (irregverbs[0], "be");
strcpy (irregverbs[1], "bear");
strcpy ( irregverbs [2] , "beat" ) ;
strcpy ( irregverbs [3] , "become" ) ;
strcpy ( irregverbs [4] , "begin" ) ;
strcpy ( irregverbs [5] , "bend" ) ;
strcpy ( irregverbs [6] , "bite" ) ;
strcpy ( irregverbs [7] , "blow" ) ;

for (j= 0; j <verbcount+1; j=j+1) {
location1=binarysearch (irregverbs, numberofirregverbs, verb, j);
printf ("\ni ran\n");
if (location1==0)
printf ("\nyou found an irregular past tense verb: %s\n\n", verb [j]);
}
}
The function binarysearch looks like this:
Code:
int binarysearch(char data[][94], int n, char newitem[][21], int positionofnewitem)
{
int low, high, test, findnewitem;
low=0;
high=n-1;
while (low<=high){
test=(low +high)/2;
findnewitem=strcmp (newitem[positionofnewitem], data[test]);
printf ("\ni am comparing %s to %s\n", newitem[positionofnewitem], data[test]);
if(findnewitem==0)
return findnewitem;
else if (findnewitem<0)
high = test -1;
else
low = test+1;
}
return -1;
}
It seems that for some reason the loading of the second array interferes with the values in the first array. Right after both arrays are loaded, i have a print statement asking that the value in position 1 of each array be printed to the screen. The output that i got for that was "bought bore" The output that I expected was bear bore. ALso, when i send irregverbs to the function, it seems to use the data from irregverbspast. As a matter of fact, when I took out the code that loads the irregpast array and just left in the values for irregpast, the program ran well, and the correct values were sent to the function..I can't make sense out of this....Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going wrong here??
