String Array

Dec 18th, 2005

Hi guys…
I want to write small program in C printing three or more people in array..how? please write to me the syntax as I am very poor in C..

How to define the name? and accept the conformation from the user? Either by yes or no

The printing should be like
Your name is (first name in array)
Your name is (second name in array)

Do you need to use Loop?

first, you need to write main() function

 Help with Code Tags 
 C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
 
   // put your code here
}
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

   // put your code here
}

next declare a character array that will hold the name that you input from the keyboard

 Help with Code Tags 
 C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
 
{
   char name[80]; // allow up to 79 characters plus null terminator
   // put your code here
}
#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{
   char name[80]; // allow up to 79 characters plus null terminator
   // put your code here
}

call printf() to display the prompt, and fgets() to get the input from the keyboard.

 Help with Code Tags 
 C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
print("... < text goes here > ... ");
fgets(name,sizeof(name),stdin);
print("... < text goes here > ... ");
fgets(name,sizeof(name),stdin);

why wait for anyone to tell you -- try it yourself and find out.

Why use printf? Just use cout.
Also, why use a char array when the STL provides a string class?

If it's three or MORE people then use a vector since you don't know the exact size.
