disc golf program troubles

Hey!

I was trying to write a simple program to tally each players score in a game of disc golf, then display it at the end. Maybe there's a better approach I could use?

Anyways, I keep getting junk numbers for the sums array. I set up an array for the amount of players, and the score per hole. I'm trying to add the holes to get a total, but I'm getting back junk. Help would be very much appreciated!

Thank you!

Here's the code

Code:

---

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


main(){
   
    int holes[18];
    int players = 0;
    int i, i2;
    int h, g, f = 0;
    int x = 1;
    int sum = 0;
    int sums[players];
    sums[1] = 0;
   
    printf("You played a round of disc golf\nLet me add up the scores for you!\n");
    printf("Please enter the number of players: \n");
    scanf("%d", &players);
    for (i = 1; i <= players; ++i){
    printf("Enter the scores for player %d\n", x++);
     
      for (i2 = 0; i2 < 18; ++i2){
        scanf("%d", &holes[i2]);
        printf("%d\n", holes[i2]);}
        }
       
    for (g = 0; g < players; ++g){
        ++f;
        for (h = 0; h < 18; ++h){
          printf ("%d\n", holes[h]); // trying to find where it goes wrong
          printf ("%d\n", sums[f]);
          system("PAUSE");
          sums[f] += holes[h];
          printf ("%d\n", holes[h]);
          printf ("%d\n", sums[h]);
          system("PAUSE");
          }
                    }
                   
                   
    printf("this is %d", holes[5]);     
         
    for (i = 0; i < players; ++i)
      printf("\nplayer %d's score is %d\n", i + 1, sums[i]);
     
      system("PAUSE");
}

Code:

---

int players = 0;
...
int sums[players];

---

Your problem would be with sums[]

Okay, I tried to just initialize it after players gets input

Code:

---

scanf("%d", &players);

int sums[players];

---

But that still gave me junk. Any ideas for a work around?

Show your new code in full

Initialize the elements of the array

Code:

---

    int sum[players];
    for (int k = 0; k < players; k++) sum[k] = 0;
