entering numbers to array in a row

i need to enter numbers in a row
and my program need to take them from right to left
(the last number in the row will be the first one in the matrix)
for input: 1 2 3 4 5 6 in 2X3 matrix
6 5 4
3 2 1
i tried to do this but its not workin

Code:

---

      for (index=rows;index>=0;index--){

          for (kndex=cols;kndex>=0;kndex--){

            scanf("%d",&matrix[index][kndex]);
          }

        }

Well you've provided very little back ground information, but I'd say that the element "rows" and "cols" is out of bounds, ie on the first iteration.

An example of what I mean

Code:

---

#define ROWS 5

char example[ROWS] = {0};

for (index = ROWS; index >= 0; index--)
{
  /* on the first iteration index = 5, however example[5] is out of bounds */
}

Pull off the newline char:

Code:

---


#include <stdio.h>

int A[2][3];

int main(void)  {
  int row, col;

  for(row = 1; row >= 0; row--)  {
      for(col = 2; col >= 0; col--)  {
        scanf("&#37;d", &A[row][col]);
        //getchar();  //pulls off the newline char that scanf() leaves behind
      }
  }
  for(row = 0; row < 2; row++)  {
      for(col = 0; col < 3; col++)
        printf(" %d ", A[row][col]);
      printf("\n");
  }
  getchar();  //needed because of scanf()
  getchar(); 
  return 0;
}

---

Why bother? It's "whitespace".

Because it's 4:30 in the morning! :)

Somewhere I was taught to add a getchar() or similar, after every scanf(), to pull the newline
off the keyboard buffer.

You're right, it's no problem for scanf(), as it loops, but you do need to add another getchar() at the end, to hold the console window open.
