help plz crashing program

Code:

---

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

int main()
{

  char* passarray[10];
  cout<<"This program can store 5 passwords of yours.\n";
  for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
  {
  cout<<"Please enter the passwords nickname so you can get it later:";
  cin>>passarray[i];
  cout<<"Please enter the password for the nickname "<<passarray[i]<<":";
  }
  system("pause");
  return 0;
}

You did not allocate memory for every pointer you use.

Code:

---

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

int main()
{

  char* passarray[10];
  cout<<"This program can store 5 passwords of yours.\n";
  for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
  {
  cout<<"Please enter the passwords nickname so you can get it later:";
  passarray[i] = new char[101]; // assume max length is 100 chars
  cin>>passarray[i];
  cout<<"Please enter the password for the nickname "<<passarray[i]<<":";
  }
  system("pause");
  return 0;
}

Make sure you delete all the memory you allocate also.

Code:

---

for( int i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
{
  delete [] passarray[i];
}
