Thread: Help needed (problem with basic C program)

Hello all,

The other day I was experimenting with C and I stumbled across a problem in my program, it's a basic one for inputting names into a two dimensional array. That's all. But for some reason I fail to see there are problems everywhere! It's a basic program so I hope it's easy for experienced programmers to spot my amateur mistake.

Comments are integrated throughout the program.

Thanks for the help


Code below:

Code:

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

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  typedef char names[50];/*defining a new type of variable called name which is a string of 50 chars*/
  typedef int namespaces[50];/*defining another variable called namepaces which is an array of 50 rows*/
  char namearr[namespaces][names];/*declaring an array of 50 rows and each row consists of a string of 50 chars*/
  
  printf("please enter the names you want in the file (limit is 50 names)"); /*Prompting the user for names to input in the array with a max of 50*/
  for (int i=0;i<50;i++){                                                   /*nested for loops for inputing individual values into the array*/
 for(int j=0; j<50 ; j++)
 prinf("Type name entry %d\n",i);
 scanf(%s,&namearr[i][j]);}
 

for (int i=0;i<50;i++){        /*nested for loops for echo-ing the inputted strings*/
 for(int j=0; j<50 ; j++)
 printf("The names you inputted are input[%d][%d]",i,j,namearr[i][j]);
} 
  
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}
