Im trying to create an array based on the user input of needed columns and then prompt the user to input values to fill up the array. every time i try to do


printf("please enter the number of columns: ")
scanf("%f", &n)

a[4][n] = 1



the compiler gives me an error saying that "n" is not an integer.

*not full code just the section im having trouble with

isn't %f float? what datatype is n defined as?

try using "%d" instead of "%f"

array index can only be an integer

int *n;

%d

nope

my head hurts

please post your hole problem

you cant just have user enter in values into array and load them 1 at time each time excutes it will just write into Slot 0 of array so you need to write a loop to step threw array.. Also you should put in dummy checker that if array is filled it creates new array copies it over than destroys old array.. So you dont get array out of bounds.. it looks like your making a 2 demontal array ... if you post hole Program I can help
