Thread: [Help] Simple Array/Pointer Program

You really don't need main()'s variable ptr. It's not used for anything useful.

Code:

int character_repeat(char x, char *y) {

int i = 0, count = 0;

	while (*y != '\0') {

		if (x[i+1] == x[i])
		i++;
		count++;


// Need something more or different


 
}

return count;

}

As written, that is an infinite loop (assuming y[0] != 0). You need to increment y.
