    assignment question...

    I'm not sure how to approach this problem. I have an array of 40 names stored in array names[40][20]. When I print the names out to a file I need to change them to a different name. Is there a way to associate the current name to the printed name?

    Thank you!

    example:

    current name printed name
    hot rod rodster
    coupe hardtop
    convertible ragtop
    bigblock largemtr
    . .
    . .
    . .
    and so on

    Use a structure
    Code:
    struct {
       char currentname[20];
       char printedname[20];
    } names[40];
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
