Please answer tonight!!!!! I'm desparate. Calling a mulitdimensional array from a function

what is not correct about GetName() .. does it not compile, or not work or ... ?

you variable 'name' should be a 'char[MAX]' (say) not just a single 'char'

Also GetName is trying to read in a single char instead of a string. A single char is not big enough

There are a number of other little problems

Please find corrected source here...

Jeez, where did you guys learn not to indent??

I feel sorry for the one who has to check your homework :-/

It is EE that removes the formatting  .. not our fault .. leading tabs get removed .. so cut and paste from the IDE results in this awful looking stuff.  But, of course, the god news is that putting it back into the IDE (VC) lets you reindent anyway.
