Thread: weird two dimensional array

Hi guys,

I am very new to C.I simply cannot understand how the following code works.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>
int map(char c);
void main(){
char link[8][15]={"AB5C2D3","BA5C4E3","CA2B4E4","DA3","EB3C4"};
int adj[4][4],i,j,m,n;
printf("%s\n",link[0]);
printf("%s\n",link[1]);
printf("%s\n",link[2]);
printf("%s\n",link[3]);
printf("%s\n",link[4]);

for(i=0;i<5;i++){
for(j=0;j<5;j++){
adj[i][j]=0;
}
}

printf("After\n");
printf("%s\n",link[0]);
printf("%s\n",link[1]);
printf("%s\n",link[2]);
printf("%s\n",link[3]);
printf("%s\n",link[4]);
}

I get the output as

AB5C2D3
BA5C4E3
CA2B4E4
DA3
EB3C4
After
BA5C4E3
CA2B4E4
DA3
EB3C4

Can somebody pl explain wat happens to link[0] after the initialization to the array adj[][].
Thanks in advance.

Thanks once again robwhit.
It worked.
This one almost drove me crazy.
Thank u very much.
