Thread: Question On Putting User Input into Arrays

So, into the Arrays section of the C Primer Plus, Fifth Edition book i'v run into a snag. While the book "briefly" (And I mean VERY briefly) touches on Arrays, it makes no real mention of how you would actually take user input and place it into each element of an Array.

Say I wanted to take 10 integers from the user and have it store them into

int num[10];

How would I go about doing this? I'v tried using a FOR loop, but most of the time all it's doing is outputting::

1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

or

1, 3, 5, 7, 9

And those are with the user values being 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10. Anyone help me with this and explain what exactly I need to do to get an array to take user input.

Thanks in advance.

You'll have to show us how you are getting user input and how you are assigning it to the array elements.

I managed to somehow figure it out.

Next time post your code with your question, please.

scanf() ??

That's what I figured. Missing ampersand, user entering spaces or new-lines and scanf not set up to skip across those. The usual.
