Hey everyone.

im having issues with my for loop:
basically it reads in from a file using unix redirection and stores the integers into an array, that all works fine, but i need to return the number of integers that were read in, and logically i thought this would work, but i just get some crazy number. thanks for any help.

 /*Reads the data from .dat file*/  
   for(i = 0; i <= MAX || ageList[i] != 0; i++)
   {
      
      scanf("%d",&ageList[i]);
      counter += 1;
   }

The whole function:

   for(i = 0; i <= MAX; i++)
   {
      ageList[i] = -1;
   }

   counter = 0;

   for(i = 0; i <= MAX || ageList[i] != 0; i++)
   {
      
      scanf("%d",&ageList[i]);
      counter += 1;
   }

   /*Prints the integers*/
   for(i = 0; i <= MAX && ageList[i] != 0;i++)
   {
    	 printf("%d\n",ageList[i]);
   }
      return(counter);
}
