how to get rid off garbage in array of chars?
- by fang_dejavu
hi, I'm writing a C program but I keep having problems with my array of chars. I keep getting garbage when I print it using prinf. here is an example of what I get when I print it:
char at t.symbol is Aôÿ¿
char at tabl[0].symbol is A
char at tabl[1].symbol is a
char at tabl[2].symbol is a
char at tabl[3].symbol is d
char at tabl[4].symbol is e
char at tabl[5].symbol is f
char at tabl[6].symbol is g
char at tabl[7].symbol is h
char at tabl[8].symbol is i
char at tabl[9].symbol is x
char at t[0].symbol is a0AÃ
char at t[1].symbol is b)@Ã4
char at t[2].symbol is ckU*
char at t[3].symbol is Aôÿ¿
char at t[4].symbol is gØ
could someone tell me how to get rid off the garbage in the array of chars?
here is my code
#define MAX 100
#ifndef SYMBSIZE
#define SYMBSIZE 1
#endif
typedef struct tableme
{
char symbol[SYMBSIZE];
int value;
int casenmbr;
int otherinfo;
}tabletype;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
tabletype t[MAX];
t[3].symbol[0] = 'A';
t[0].value=1;
t[0].casenmbr = 7;
t[0].otherinfo = 682;
tabletype tabl[MAX];
tabl[0].value = 1;
tabl[0].symbol[0] = 'A';
tabl[1].value = 11;
tabl[1].symbol[0]= 'a';
tabl[2].value = 12;
tabl[2].symbol[0] = 'a';
tabl[3].value = 13;
tabl[3].symbol[0] = 'd';
tabl[4].value = 14;
tabl[4].symbol[0] = 'e';
tabl[5].value = 15;
tabl[5].symbol[0] = 'f';
tabl[6].value = 16;
tabl[6].symbol[0] = 'g';
tabl[7].value = 17;
tabl[7].symbol[0] = 'h';
tabl[8].symbol[0] = 'i';
tabl[9].symbol[0] = 'x';
t[1].symbol[0] = 'b';
t[0].symbol[0]= 'a';
t[2].symbol[0]= 'c';
t[4].symbol[0]= 'g';
printf("char at t.symbol is %s \n", t[3].symbol);
for( x=0;x<10;x++)
{
printf("char at tabl[%d].symbol is %s \n",x, tabl[x].symbol);
}
int j;
for(j = 0; j<5;j++)
{
printf("char at t[%d].symbol is %s \n",j, t[j].symbol);
}
return 0;
}
