    array values in for loop

    Code:
    int primeGen(a1){
      int b1;
      int b2;
      b2=0;
      int b4;
      int *b5;
      int b6;
      b5 = (int *)calloc(a1*2,sizeof(int));
      b5[0]=1;
      b5[1]=2;
      b5[3]=2;
      b5[4]=3;
      for(b1=5; b2 < a1; b1++){
        if (checkPrime(b1)) {
            /* What I'm doing is ordering the array b5
            such that entry i*2 is the ith index,
            and that i*2+1 is the ith prime */
          b5[5+b2*2]=3+b2; //These seem to be working fine
          b5[6+b2*2]=b1; 
          b2++;
        }
      }
      for(b6=0;b6<a1;b6++){
        printf("%d %d \n",b5[b6],b5[b6+1]); //But down here the data's all messed up
      }
      return 0;
    }
    I'm not sure what's going wrong. The data is correct when it's assigned, but after the for loop I try and get the values from the array and they seem totally random. What's going on?
    Thanks

    Code:
      for(b6=0;b6<a1;b6++){
        printf("%d %d \n",b5[b6],b5[b6+1]); //But down here the data's all messed up
      }
    You are printing the elements twice. For example element at index 3. you print it in second position when b6 is 2; and on the next line, when b6 is 3, you print it again in first position.
