    is this array possible?

    Code:
    printf("\n\n\t\t1st Player:");
    scan("CLAN[%d]",&CLAN[10]);
    or

    Code:
    printf("\n\n\t\t1st Player:");
    scan("%d",&CLAN[10]);

    it has to be scanf not scan

    both are possible

    in the 1st case, there has to be this input from the player:
    CLAN[43]

    where 43 is some kind of a number.
    in the second case, the user has to write
    43
    the same deal with the 43 again

    the stuff that you write in the "" is the form of data that the scanf function has to read - if you try to do memory allocation in it or anything else, it won't work, because scanf doesn't care about it - it only cares about the %d and %f and so on...

    and this is a C++ programming board. Your current code is in C, so please don't post in the wrong subforum again

    CLAN should be an array with at least 11 elements
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
