How do I input and print out a list of names

I have this code that it starts with a simple menu I can enter some names up to five and then have a choice to print out the names I'm using a multi dimensional array but I can't figure out how to display the names I think there store in there just not sure here's the code

Code:

---


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

int main()
{

        int i = 0;
        char *iName[1][4] =  {'\0'};
      int iChoice = 0;


        while(iChoice != 3)
        {
                system("cls");
                printf("\n1\tEnter a name");
                printf("\n2\tPrint Report");
                printf("\n3\tQuit");
                printf("\n\n\tEnter a Choice: ");
                scanf("%d", &iChoice);

                if(iChoice == 1)
                {
                        system("cls");
                        printf("\n\tEnter a name: ");
                        scanf("%s %s", iName[0],iName[1]);
                }
                else if(iChoice ==2)
                {
                        break;

                }
                else if(iChoice == 3)
                        break;
        }
        system("cls");
        for (i = 0; i <= 4; i++)
                printf("%s %s",iName[0],iName[1]);

}

char *iName[1][4] is a mulidimensional array of pointers to chars. Why not just have an array of pointers to chars like this:

Code:

---

char *iName[4] //This will store 4 pointers to chars (4 strings)

---

Then you can do this:

Code:

---

if(iChoice == 1)
                {
                        system("cls");
                        printf("\n\tEnter a name: ");
                        scanf("%s", iName[0]) //Store the first string;
                }

---

I'm sure you will be able to figure out the rest.

Well I might be able to figure that out but I'm suppose to learn how to use a multdimensional array the program is suppose to teach me how to use them

Fair enough. I still don't see why you need a multidimensional array of pointers to chars, how about you just do this:

Code:

---

char iName[Number of Strings you want - 1][Length of string + 1]

---

Thus the definition:

Code:

---

char iName[1][4];

---

Creates 2 arrays of 5 chars.
