    That's not a very interesting story. You lack character development and plot structure.

    You figured out you need to use code tags, I hope you also read the sticky thread that describes our homework policy.

    Now, make a serious attempt to do your homework, post your code, ask serious questions and you'll get serious help.

    Well, all that AND... I really don't think you want to be creating a 4 megabyte array in your program's stack... Try malloc()

    Global arrays are not created on the stack.
