Array Help

[spraypaul]

hey new to programming i know this code isnt anywhere near done but just seeing if someone could help with why it keeps crashing right away.

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




#define MAXNAME 50
#define MAXDEPT 50


int main() {


    int money[MAXNAME][MAXDEPT];
    int numNames, numDept, i, j;
    char name, dept;






    scanf("%d", &numNames); //read number of executives
        for(i=0;i<numNames;i++){
            scanf("%s", name); // scan for names of executives.


    scanf("%d", &numDept); // read number of departments.
        for(j=0;j<numDept;j++){
            scanf("%s", dept);// scan for names of deptment.


            }
        }
        scanf("%d",&money[numNames][numDept]);
return 0;


}

your variable 'name' (and 'dept') only has room for 1 character. you need to make it an array of char with a size sufficient for the data you plan to enter

 int money[MAXNAME][MAXDEPT];    int numNames, numDept, i, j;
    char name[MAXLEN+1];
    char dept[MAXLEN+1];






    scanf("%d", &numNames); //read number of executives
        for(i=0;i<numNames;i++){
            scanf("%s", name); // scan for names of executives.


    scanf("%d", &numDept); // read number of departments.
        for(j=0;j<numDept;j++){
            scanf("%s", dept);// scan for names of deptment.


            scanf("%d", &money[i][j]); // here i need to scan for an amount of money taken by each person from each department. but when i run it only lets me scan for the first person.
            }
        }

so it only lets me scan for the amount taken from each departemnt by that one person how to do i get it to loop and scan for all the executives.

Try putting a leading space in the scanf format string, for example " %s".
It would also help if you prompt the user with a executive number and department number so that they know which they are entering.

 int money[MAXNAME][MAXDEPT];
    int numNames, numDept, i, j;
    char name[MAXLEN+1];
    char dept[MAXLEN+1];
    char exec[MAXLEN+1];


    scanf("%d", &numNames); //read number of executives
        for(i=0;i<numNames;i++){
            scanf("%s", name); // scan for names of executives.






    scanf("%d", &numDept); // read number of departments.
        for(j=0;j<numDept;j++){
            scanf("%s", dept);// scan for names of deptment.


            }
        }
        for(i=0; i<numNames; i++){
            for(j=0; j<numDept; j++){
                scanf("%d", &money[i][j]); // money embezzled assigned to each dept and name
        }
    }




    printf("Mr.%s has embezzled $%d.\n", name, money[i][j]);






return 0;

at the end i am trying to get it to print the two last names along with how much total money they have embezzled. can someone help me.

My suggestions would be:
1) Don't use quite so many blank lines between groups of statements (enhances readability).
2) Precede each scanf() with a printf() to prompt the user. (This was suggested by nonoob already).
3) Consider using file I/O instead of relying on the stdin/stdout too much. You're likely to go that way anyway.
