Thread: Fixed my bugs... but have still problems with arrays

O.K. ! Thanks to all who explained me how to use fgets... Now I made some bugfixes in my code... this is the result !!!

Code:

void firstclass_select()
{ //void firstclass_select() begin

        int v = 0;
	int w = 0;
	int x = 0;
	int y = 0;
	int z = 0;
        char select;

	printf("First Class Selected\n");
                   
	plane_graph_first();

	while(w == 0)
	     { //while for w 0 begin
		for(seat = 1; seat <= 16; seat++)
		   {
			for(a = 1; a <= 1; a++)
			   {
				if(*first[seat][a] == NULL)
				   empty++;

				else
				   taken++;
			   }
		   }


		if(taken == 16)
		  {
			printf("All seats taken in First Class, press any key to continue...");
			getch();
			w++;
		  }

		else
		  printf("\n\nThere are %d empty seats in First Class\n", empty);

		  printf("Enter seat Number: ");
		  scanf("%d", &seat);                  

		  if((seat <= 0)||(seat > 16))
		    printf("Out of range ! (1-16)");

		  else
		    while(y == 0)
		         { //while for y begin
				if(*first[seat][a] == NULL)
			  	  { //if array is NULL begin
					while(x == 0)
					     { //while x for 0 begin
						printf("Please Enter Gender of Passenger (M) or (F): ");
                                                a = 1;
						gets(first[seat][a]);
                                                gets(first[seat][a]);

                                                strupr(first[seat][a]);

						if((first[seat][a] == "M")||(first[seat][a] == "F"));
						  { //if array is M or F begin
							printf("Please Enter Name of Passenger: ");

                                                        a++;

							gets(first[seat][a]);

							while(v == 0)
							     { //while v for 0 begin
								printf("Is this a (R)eservation or is this ticket (S)old ?: ");

                                                                a++;

								gets(first[seat][a]);

                                                                strupr(first[seat][a]);

								if((first[seat][a] == "R")||(first[seat][a] == "S"))
								  { //if array is R or S begin
									printf("Name of Passenger: %s\n", *first[seat][2]);
									printf("Gender: %s  |  Ticket Type: %s\n", *first[seat][1], *first[seat][3]);
									printf("Passenger Succesful Saved !!");
                                                                        getch();
									v++;
									x++;
									y++;
									z++;
								  } //while array is R or S end

								else
								  printf("R or S !!!");

							     } //while v for 0 end
                                                  } //if array is M or F end

						else //Why misplaced else ???
						  printf("M or F !!!");
                                            } //while x for 0 end
			          } //if array is NULL end

				else
                          	  { //else begin
			  		printf("Seat no. %d is taken", seat);
			  		getch();
			  		w++;
					y++;
			  	  } //else end
                       	 }// while for y end
	     } //while for w 0 end

	getch();

	clrscr();

} //void firstclass_select() end

So to my problems...

1. Misplaced else ??? in the code... But I still can't figure out why it is a misplaced else (look in the code //misplaced else ??)

2. Actually I tried to check if the user inputs 'M' or 'F' & 'R' & 'S', but it did not work out as good as I thought.

3. When I enter the Gender, Name and R/S thing there, I'll get as output ".l" what does that mean ???

4. Any comments regarding this code are welcome in case of improvement etc... bugifxes...

Thanks in advance

I removed the * (asteriks) from the strings in the output but this time not ".l" was displayed "(null)" was displayed ???

Thanks in advance
