Question

I know its probably obvious issue but since in very new to C I had to ask,

This is my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define ASIZE 8
int main()

{
    int index;

    long int numbers[ASIZE];

    printf("enter 8 integers to be printed in reverse order:\n");

    for (index = 0; index < ASIZE; index++)

    {
        scanf("%li", &numbers[index]);
    }

    printf("indexing is done!");

}

Why am I not exiting the ‘for’ loop and printing “indexing is done!” ?

Answer 1

scanf requires your inputs to be whitespace-separated. Entering 12345678 will only go once round the loop.
