    Basic Start up

    i can't find any examples in my book (and yes its for my project but i only want to know the simplest way to input numbers into an array)

    I want the output to go along the lines of

    . Week1
    . Day 1: (the user inputs number)
    . Day 2: (the user inputs number)
    . Day 3: (the user inputs number)
    . Day 4: (the user inputs number)
    . Day 5: (the user inputs number)
    . Day 6: (the user inputs number)
    . Day 7: (the user inputs number)

    Week 2 .... so on

    Therefore making a 7 by j array allowing j to be any number
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int j=0;
    int i=7;
    int choc_[7][100];
    
    
    
    
    int main()
    {
    int w,d,q;
    printf ("How many weeks would you like the program to run?\n");
    scanf ("%d",&j);
    	{
            
            for ( w=1; w<=j; w++)
            {
            printf ("\t Week %d \n",w);
             	 for ( d=1; d<=i; d++) 
             	 printf ("\t\tDay %d:\n",d); 
                      	scanf ("%d", &q); 
                       }
                       }
                       }
    i know this is basic, but i have had to teach myself this and i can't seem to find any examples in books or on-line
    thanks for your time

    You already have the array indexes in your iterator variables. Remember that array indexers are 0-based:
    Code:
    for(w = 0;w < j;w++)
    {
      printf("\t week %d \n", w + 1); // Since w starts at 0 now, make it print as if 1 was the first index
      for(d = 0;d < 7;d++) // i seems unnecessary and just confusing. Every week has 7 days and i is a horrible name for this
      {
        printf("\t\tDay %d: ", d + 1); // Again, d starts at 0 now, but make it print pretty
        scanf("%d", &choc_[d][w]);
      }
    }
    I'd recommend getting out of the habit of using meaningless variable names. It'll just lead to trouble.
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

    Thanks for that

    If i wished to print out the array into a text file would i have to put spaces between the numbers and insert new lines when i want the row to finish? .. just a bit confused on that

    No, we have a "space" fairy, and also a "newline" fairy, that magically sprinkle their sparkling dust, on all C output! < ROFL! >
