    Question help with strange problem

    Hello. I've written a small program with c using dev-c++ yesterday and it was working proper so i know there is no problem about the code. I've finished it and turned off my pc. When I run it today, it ran and did what i've told it to do, but I recieved an error message from windows saying the program needs to be shut in stead of program "returning 0". Please help if you know what causes this. Thanks.

    Your code is messed up some place, and you lucked out yesterday.

    i think this is the troubled loop:
    Code:
    while(j<size){
                       i=j;
                          while(i>0){
                                  if(!strcmp(array[j],array[j-i])){
                                                                     j++;
                                                                     i=j;
                                                                     continue;
                                                                     } 
                                  i--;
                                  }
    }
    i and j are defined 0 at the beginning. It is supposed to continue to the next part if the given strings are not the same.can you see what is wrong with it?

    Is 'array' a two dimensional array, or an array of pointers to character? Or is it just a simple array of characters? If the latter, you're probably using it wrong.

    State what it is you're trying to do, and we'll suggest a few ways to go about it.
