Password retrieval

ok so i was assigned an assignment to make a simmple program in Dev C++. our teacher owuld like us to create a simple password retrieval program.

so if you were to enter a number such as 1234 the program would scan until it finds 1234. what i need is how do i get the program to incorparate letters and number so if i were to enter 1w2e3 how would i program the program to do this. this is what i have so far if anyone can help thatd be great.

Code:

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


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int i;
    for(i = 0; i < 99999; i++) {
          printf("Trying password %d\n",i);
            if(52220 == i) {
                    
                 printf("The password is %d\n",i);
                 break;     
            }
    }  
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

anyone?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?

Use char instead if int for the password.

Hint: research strcmp from string.h

sojust char main and inted of %d use %c and change 0 to a and 9999 to b????

what he meant was store the passwords in a string array .

you should set a length for the password. there is a way that you can add driectly to the binary but idk how for sure, also, set up the password as a string of chars and use several for\while loops. it makes it a lot easier
