As i know, i can create an array with item inside such as:
char *test1[3]= {"arrtest","ao", "123"};
but how can i store my input into array like code above because i only can code it as
input[10];
scanf("%s",&input) or gets(input);
and it store each char into each space.
How can i store the input "HELLO" such that it stores into input[0] but now
H to input[0],E to input[1], and so on.
You need a 2 dimensional character array to have an array of strings:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char strings[3][256];
scanf("%s %s %s", strings[0], strings[1], strings[2]);
printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n", strings[0], strings[1], strings[2]);
}
256 means in strings array?
\0) at the end of a string)Use a 2-dimensional array char input[3][10];
or
an array of char pointers (like char *input[3];) which should be allocated memory dynamically before any value is saved at those locations.
First Case, take input values as scanf("%s", input[0]);, similarly for input[1] and input[2]. Remember you can store a string of max size 10 (including '\0' character) in each input[i].
In second case, get input the same way as above, but allocate memory to each pointer input[i] using malloc before. Here you have flexibility of size for each string.
Did not really understand what you need. But here is what I guessed.
char *a[5];//array of five pointers
for(i=0;i<5;i++)// iterate the number of pointer times in the array
{
char input[10];// a local array variable
a[i]=malloc(10*sizeof(char)); //allocate memory for each pointer in the array here
scanf("%s",input);//take the input from stdin
strcpy(a[i],input);//store the value in one of the pointer in the pointer array
}
try below code:
char *input[10];
input[0]=(char*)malloc(25);//mention the size you need..
scanf("%s",input[0]);
printf("%s",input[0]);
int main()
{
int n,j;
cin>>n;
char a[100][100];
for(int i=1;i<=n;i++){
j=1;
while(a[i][j]!=EOF){
a[i][j]=getchar();
j++;
}
}
This code inspired me on how to get my user input strings into an array. I'm new to C and to this board, my apologies if I'm not following some rules on how to post a comment. I'm trying to figure things out.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char strings[3][256];
scanf("%s %s %s", strings[0], strings[1], strings[2]);
printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n", strings[0], strings[1], strings[2]);
}
