I need to save user input into an array of strings.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char *history[10] = {0};
int main (void) {
char input[256];
input = "input";
strcpy(history[0], input);
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
By running it on the terminal, I get a segmentation error, and in NetBeans I get main.c: 11: error: incompatible types when assigned. I also tried to transfer the whole story in order to keep the newest entry in the first position (history [0]).
history[9] = history[8];
history[8] = history[7];
history[7] = history[6];
history[6] = history[5];
history[5] = history[4];
history[4] = history[3];
history[3] = history[2];
history[2] = history[1];
history[1] = history[0];
history[0] = input;
But this leads to an exit like this.
If the input is "input"
History 0: input History 1: null et al.
If then the input is "new"
History 0: new History 1: new History 2: null et al.
Each time a new input is entered, there are pointers to a line break, but it only calls the newest value in the history array.
