Yeah, I know. I didn't know it was supposed to until after, I just posted new code that should. The assignment never said to originally but then someone asked a question in the class message board and it came out there that we were supposed to make it prompt for names. A lot of "now you tell me" messages followed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx>

The code u sent did not prompt 4 names. On 11/5/07, John Miller <n1umj@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:It's completely changed again too now, it's setup now to prompt for namesnow instead of them being there. Anyway, we're going for pointers this time. I'll have to take a look at that. Thanks, at least I know where to look now. If the info about pointers helps, and you can offer more help great, if not, I'll play around with it, my main concern right now is the final anyway butI'm just so close with this homework that I'd like to get it right. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 3:13 PM Subject: Re: hopefully last C programming question > The problem is your initialization at the beginning of main.
