Sample that i made:

Quote:

Enter Name and Rank
Bill Gates: 2
Enter Name and Rank
Sergey Brin: 1
Enter Name and Rank
Mr Random: 3

Name: Bill Gates has rank: 2
Name: Sergey Brin has rank: 1
Name: Mr Random has rank: 3

Here is my code

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#define MAX 100
int main(void)
{


 int  i;
 int rank[MAX];
 char name[MAX];


 for(i=0; i<3; i++)
 {
    printf("Enter Name and Rank\n");
    scanf("%[^:]:%d", &name[i], &rank[i]);
 }

 for(i=0; i<3; i++)
 {
    printf("Name: %s has rank:%d\n", name[i], rank[i]);
 }
 return 0;
}

What am I doing wrong?

You have a one dimension char array for name, so name[i] and &name[i] refer to ONE character, and ONE characters address. You either want name and &rank[i], or you want to make name[] a 2D char array name[][]. Either way, the &before "name" is incorect. "name" serves as the pointer to the base of the name array, and name[i] serves as the pointer to one name within a 2D array of names.
