[C] need help with array

programming
1

hello everyone…
i’m having difficulty with our project at school… i have 3 arrays… i assign values to them using for loops and scanf. then the program asks if i want to add another value to the array.
it works for the first 2 or 3 increments to the array but after that, one of the values of the array is messed up… please help. :expressionless:
here is the code, i added some comments to try and clarify it a bit:

#include<stdio.h>
#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0
int check(char ans,char big,char small){
    if(ans == big || ans == small){
        return TRUE;
    }else{
        return FALSE;
    }
}
ADDITEM(){
    /*initialize*/
    int x,last,i;
    printf("Enter # of items: ");
    scanf("%d",&x);
    int code[x], price[x];
    char ans, name[x][30];
    ans = 'y';
    last = i = 0;
    while(check(ans,'Y','y')){
        /*ask for input*/
        for(i = last;i < x;i++){
            printf("Enter item code #%d: ",i+1);
            scanf("%d",&code*);
            printf("Enter name of item #%d: ",i+1);
            scanf("%s",&name*);
            printf("Enter item price #%d: ",i+1);
            scanf("%d",&price*);
        }
        /*print list of values*/
        printf("
----------LIST-----------
");
        for (i = 0;i<x;i++){
            printf("
Item code #%d: %d",i+1,code*);
            printf("
Item name #%d: %s",i+1,name*);
            printf("
Item price #%d: %d",i+1,price*);
            printf("
");
        }
        last = x;    /*assign last value of x to variable for reference*/
        /*ask user to increment list*/
        printf("

Add another item[Y/N]? ");
        scanf("%s",&ans);
        if(check(ans,'N','n')){
            break;    
        }else if(check(ans,'Y','y')){
            x++;    
        }else{
            while(!check(ans,'N','n')||!check(ans,'Y','y')){
                if(check(ans,'N','n')||check(ans,'Y','y')){
                    if(check(ans,'Y','y')){
                        x++;
                    }
                    break;
                }else{
                    printf("Y or N?");
                    scanf("%s",&ans);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
main(){
    char choice;
    choice = '\0';
    printf("START [Y/N]? ");
    scanf("%s", &choice);
    while(!check(choice,'n','N')){
        if(check(choice,'Y','y')){
            ADDITEM();
        }else if(check(choice,'n','N')){
            break;
        }
    }
}

attached is an image of what i am talking about…

and one more thing, suppose i am to make another function, DISPLAYITEMS(), it would display the items from the previous function. So it/they would probably need to refer to the same array right? how would i go about doing that? thanks for any help. :slight_smile:
