>>pointer CN[4] (not 3,2,or1)
Thats because you access array element via 0-n, not 1-n. So in your case its, CN[0], CN[1], CN[2], CN[3] only. CN[4] is not in this variables memory scope, you are overwriting someone elses data, and they will happily return the favour.

>>well i changed all variables to correct the 0-4 problem
Not quite, you didn't

Look:

Code:

int CCON[3];
...
CCON[0] = 6;
...
CCON[1] = 10;
...
CCON[2] = 6;
...
CCON[3] =5;

You allocated CCON as an array of ints, size 3. Then you filled CCON[0] - CCON[3] with numbers. But that's 4 elements, not 3. So the last one went beyond the end of the array.

You should declare your array with the total number of elements required:
>>int CCON[4];
and then fill the elements, using the notation 0 to N-1, in this case CCON[0] - CCON[3].

This might not be all of your problems, but you need to get this right first.

I expect to solve these problems in the next couple of weeks,

Based on Hammer's corrections and your response, I think it fair to warn you that it is potentially unlikely you will, by yourself, ever solve these problems. You basic problem seems to stem from the fact that you don't even grasp the syntax of the language. Therefore, I would recommend you learn the syntax and language grammar necessary before delving into the deeper mysteries of writing logic.
