Array of Pointers

[docmur]

Can someone tell me how the heck to get input into an array of pointers, via my code.

insert

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{    
	int granularity, *Arrayptr,iLoop,iCount,iarray;
	char *arraysize;
	char szBuf[10];
		printf("Input the array size: \n");          		     //Ask the user for input		
		arraysize = fgets(szBuf,sizeof(szBuf), stdin);   	     //Get the input from the user
		iarray = atoi(arraysize);				             //Convert Input from string to integer
		Arrayptr = malloc(iarray * sizeof(int));  		         //Reserve some memory on the heap for the array
	             if((Arrayptr = malloc(iarray * sizeof(int))) == NULL){
                    (void)printf("Malloc failed");
                    return 1;
                 }
        if(Arrayptr != NULL){        
        printf("Please input values into array -1 to quit: \n");
                 for(iLoop = 0 ;; iLoop ++){
                 scanf("%d",Arrayptr[iLoop]);
                 iCount += Arrayptr[iLoop];
                 }
        }                            
return 0;
}

I'm trying to use scanf but it's not working, then I want to take the value entered and keep a running total, I'm just not sure why it's not working.

Thanks

Only call it once, then check for NULL

> if(Arrayptr != NULL)
You already checked for NULL, checking again adds nothing.

When does this loop exit?

> scanf("%d",Arrayptr[iLoop]);
You still need the &, as in
scanf("%d", &Arrayptr[iLoop]);

Okay so I put the exit condition to iLoop <= iarray or in other words when the array size has been reached then exit.

When I enter say
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
etc...... up to 10 times the value returned by iCount seems to be 2008858765, I'm sure why I'm getting this return value.

Initialize (or set) iCount to zero. Right now it starts with a "random" value.
