Re: Help needed with arrays

Hi Paul,

You have made some efforts in comarision with your
previous codes; now your code runs. But first let me
make some general comments;

* To be more accurate, define main function to
return a value - 0:
int main()
{
....
return 0;
}

* To be more simplified and abvious, declare
each variable in a separate line:

int num[NUM_ITEMS];
int i;
int total = 0;

Here I cannot understand why you are not able to do it
yourself; the loop that you've wrote (the one that collects
nums from a user) is not easier than one that simply fills
the array (without a user). Maybe you're asking for a
different thing... If it is so, clearify your Q.
Anyway, the loop code may look like so:

for (i = 0; i < NUM_ITEMS; i ++)
num[i] = i;

Note, you may change the value assigned to num[i];
it could be any integer value.

Thanks!

You are very welcome.
