I tried many things but I just cant find any solution to the problem. I am trying to print the contents of an array one by one but it crashes. How can I make each index corresponding letter print out after each iteration?
main() {
int i;
char myArray[10];
for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
myArray[i] = "a";
printf("%s\n", myArray[i]);
}
}
I also tried:
printf("%c\n", myArray[i])
and:
printf("%d\n", (int)myArray[i]) gives me the numbers 36.
Your main function doesn't have a return value. You need to use either int or void.
arr[i] = "a"; assigns a null-terminated string to arr[i], you want to assign a char.
What is arr? The name of your array is myArray!
printf("%s\n", myArray[i]); will interpret myArray[i] as a string, but it is a char.
This is the corrected program:
int main()
{
int i;
char myArray[10];
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
myArray[i] = 'a';
printf("%c\n", myArray[i]);
}
}
int main() { [...] } or void main() { [...] }arr is array with elements of type char - you should assign 'a' to each element instead of "a" (the latter gives you some address in memory - namely address where "a" is stored).
%s is used to print null terminated string. Use %c instead due to type of elements in your array.
PS. Better use main like this:
int main(void)
{
...
return 0;
}
For the sake of completion, I felt obligated to point out that even return 0; isn't quite official, as I'll demonstrate below.
Also, did you know you are only iterating through 5, but declared for 10?

@e0k thanks for making me notice. Ya, I need some sleep hehe

In order for you to remember to iterate through the same amount of indices as you declared in your array, you should #define your array length like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define ARRAY_SIZE 10
int main(void) // we're not using argc and argv
{
size_t i; // use size_t since i is used as an array index
char myArray[ARRAY_SIZE];
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i++)
{
myArray[i] = 'a';
printf("%c\n", myArray[i]);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS; // defined in stdlib.h
}
arr[i]? I don't see anarrdeclared (or initialized) anywhere.
