Hi guys,

i use pointer for holding name and research lab property. But when i print the existing Vertex ,when i print the vertex, i cant see so -called attributes properly. For example though real value of name is "lancelot" , i see it as wrong such as "asdasdasdasd"

struct vertex {
                int value;
                char*name;
                char* researchLab;
                struct vertex *next;
                struct edge *list;
};
    void GRAPHinsertV(Graph G, int value,char*name,char*researchLab) {
    //create new  Vertex.
        Vertex newV = malloc(sizeof newV);
        // set  value of new variable  to which belongs the person.
        newV->value = value;
        newV->name=name;
        newV->researchLab=researchLab;
        newV->next = G->head;
        newV->list = NULL;
        G->head = newV;
        G->V++;
    }

    /***
    The method   creates new person.
    **/
    void createNewPerson(Graph G) {
        int id;
        char name[30];
        char researchLab[30];
        // get requeired variables.
        printf("Enter id of the person to be added.\n");
        scanf("%d",&id);
        printf("Enter name of the person to be added.\n");
        scanf("%s",name);
        printf("Enter researc lab of the person to  be added\n");
        scanf("%s",researchLab);
        // insert the people to the social network.
        GRAPHinsertV(G,id,name,researchLab);
    }
    void ListAllPeople(Graph G)
    {
        Vertex tmp;
        Edge list;
        for(tmp = G->head;tmp!=NULL;tmp=tmp->next)
        {
            fprintf(stdout,"V:%d\t%s\t%s\n",tmp->value,tmp->name,tmp->researchLab);

        }
        system("pause");
    }
