    Can't figure this out

    EDIT: All I did was take out ", pairarr[2]={0}, twopairarr[4]={0}" from the declaration line and it worked. Please explain why it messed up my program? Thanks

    Hey guys, I created this program for my class, and most of it is working and I've been fixing it a lot but new problems seem to come up.

    This program is a basic poker game, which shuffles the deck and displays a 5 card hand, then tells the user what kind of hand they have (pair, three of a kind, flush, etc)

    For some reason, whenever I have an Ace in the hand, it seems to mess it up, here's a couple examples:

    Six of ---
    King of ---
    Ace of ---
    Eight of ---
    Three of ---
    and it will show that there is a pair...

    Queen of ---
    Deuce of ---
    Eight of ---
    Ace of ---
    Deuce of ---
    and it will show that there is two pairs

    Thanks in advance for helping
    My guess would be to first look at how I check for pairs, three of a kind, etc. The problem won't be anywhere else than the main I think, I'm positive it has something to do with how I check for hand types, I will keep looking over it also.

    Here is my code:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <time.h>
    
    void shuffle(int [][13]);
    void deal(int [][13], char *[], char*[], int[][2]);
    void hand(int [][13], char *[], char*[]);
    void pair(int [][2]);
    void bubblesort(int [][2]);
    
    void main()
    {
        int cards[5][2] = {0};//hand
        int i, k, j, x=0, z, y, f;//counters
        int fullhouse=0, straight=0, flush=0, fourkind=0, threekind=0, twokind=0, pair=0, pairarr[2]={0}, twopairarr[4]={0};
        char *suit[4] = {"Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spades"};
        char *face[13] = {"Ace", "Deuce", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King"};
        int deck[4][13] = {0};
     
        srand(time(0));
     
        shuffle(deck);
        deal(deck, face, suit, cards);
       
       for(x=0; x<=4; x++)
            puts("");
     
       for(i = 0; i < 5; i++)
       {
            printf("%-8sof  %8s\n", face[cards[i][0]],suit[cards[i][1]]);//prints hand
       }
     
       bubblesort(cards);
      
       /////pair/////
