Thread: Having problems with arrays

I wrote a program that calculates the weekly pay for five people for my C programming class, but I'm having trouble with it when I try to compile and debug it. At first it would prompt me for the name, hours worked, and hourly rate, but would output $0 for everything. And now, (I don't know what I did), it won't even execute the program. Instead, I'll just get this error message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in hourlyratearray.exe

Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Below is the code for my program. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Code:

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


int main(void)
{
	int i;
	double hourlyRate[5], hoursWorked[5], taxesOwed[5], overTime[5], netPay[5], grossPay[5], basePay[5];
	char name[5];

	// gathers info
	for (i=0; i<5; i++)
	{
		
		printf("Enter name.\n");
		scanf("%s", &name[i]);
		printf("What is their hourly rate?\n");
		scanf("%f", &hourlyRate[i]);
		printf("How many hours did they work this week?\n");
		scanf("%f", &hoursWorked[i]);

		// processes input
		if( name[i] == -1 || hourlyRate[i] == -1 || hoursWorked[i] == -1)
		{
			printf("please reenter a nonnegative number");
			break;
		}

		if(hoursWorked[i] > 40)
		{
			basePay[i] = hourlyRate[i] * hoursWorked[i];
			overTime[i] = (hoursWorked[i] - 40) * 1.5 * hourlyRate[i];
			taxesOwed[i] = ((hourlyRate[i]*40) + overTime[i])*.2;
			netPay[i] = (hourlyRate[i]*40) + overTime[i] - taxesOwed[i];
					printf("%s: \n", name[i]);
			printf("Hours worked: %f\n", hoursWorked[i]);
			printf("Hourly rate: $%.2f\n", hourlyRate[i]);
			printf("Base pay: $%.2f\n", basePay[i]);
			printf("Overtime pay: $%.2f\n", overTime[i]);
			printf("Taxes paid: $%.2f\n", taxesOwed[i]);
			printf("Net pay: $%.2f\n", netPay[i]);


		}
		else
		{
			basePay[i] = hourlyRate[i] * hoursWorked[i];
			taxesOwed[i] = (hourlyRate[i]*40) * .2;
			netPay[i] = (hourlyRate[i]*40) - taxesOwed[i];
			printf("%s: \n", name[i]);
			printf("Hours worked: %f\n", hoursWorked[i]);
			printf("Hourly rate: $%.2f\n", hourlyRate[i]);
			printf("Base pay: $%.2f\n", basePay[i]);
			printf("Taxes paid: $%.2f\n", taxesOwed[i]);
			printf("Net pay: $%.2f\n", netPay[i]);
		}


	}


	return 0;
}

(1) You only have one name "string" which is five characters long. If you want five names (and it appears that you do), you could maybe do char name[5][80].
(2) You need to scanf a %lf to get a double.

It works now!! Thank you SO much!
