Thread: Password help

Ok, I was trying to make a password program just to test it out for practice ( I am new to C). however, there are no grammar errors in this code, it just doesn't flow right or something. So if someone could tell me why it doesn't work right o give a sugestion of another way of doing it.. that would be helpful... thanks..


***Also, ignore the part where I print the string length, that was just for testing purposes***

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int i;
    int z;
    int q;
    int ctr = 0;
  
  char password[] = "Password";
  char entry[20];

  
  printf("To get into the program, you must enter the correct password.\n");
  printf("Type in your password(upper and lower case matter).\n");
  gets(entry);
  
  i = strlen(password);
  printf(" %d\n", i);
  
  for(z =0; z <= i; z++)
  {
        if(password[ctr] == entry[ctr])
        {
                         q++;
        }
        ctr++;
  }
  if(q == i)
  {
       printf("You are in\n");
  }
  else
  {
      printf("Access denied\n");
  }
  
  
  
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}
