help!!

I'm new to c and i've a problem with arrays. I want to sum two arrays
into a third array like this:
array a: 5 6 8 9 1 2 4 7 3 8
array b: 5 2 1 2 4 6 8 5 4 3
sum: 1 0 9 0 1 5 9 3 2 8 1
I tried loop but i've failed. Can anyone help me?

Show us what you tried. Tell exactly what you wanted the
program to do, and what it does instead. If you got
errors from the compiler, include them as well, and
indicate to which lines they refer.

I've tried this:
#include <stdio.h>
main(){
int i,a[10],b[10],c[10];
int temp;int carry;
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
printf("a(%d)=",i);
scanf("%d",&a[i]);
}
printf("\n");
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
printf("b(%d)=",i);
scanf("%d",&b[i]);
}
printf("\n");
temp = a[i] + b[i];
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
if ( temp >=10 ){
carry = (a[i] + b[i] + carry) / 10;
temp = temp %10;
c[i] = temp;
printf("c(%d)=%d\n",i,c[i]);
}
else{
c[i] = a[i] + b[i];
printf("%d", c[i]);
}
}
return 0;
}
It first prints a[1],a[2]... after printing a[10] it writes the one
added to value of a[10] as index of a like this: a[9] =
3,a[10]=5,a[6]=...
i want to add two arrays if the sum is bigger than 10, write the carry
to left and rest to sum.

I think it is less confusing if you use a function to do the addition. This
works, uses \\ comments but my compiler accepts them. Note I added a
leading zero to the operands to force the carry to be returned.

---------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

#define N 11 // number of digits in operand

int add(int a, int b)
{
static carry; // will be initialized to 0
int sum = a + b + carry;
if(sum>9)
{
sum -=10;
carry = 1;
}
else
carry = 0;
return sum;
}
//=================
int main()
{
int a[N] = {0,5,6,8,9,1,2,4,7,3,8};
int b[N] = {0,5,2,1,2,4,6,8,5,4,3};
int sum[N+1]; // allow for carry digit
int i;

for(i=N-1; i>=0; i--)
sum[i] = add(a[i], b[i]);

for(i=0; i<N; i++)
printf("%d", sum[i]);
printf("%\nDone\n");
getchar();

How about

for(i=0; i<n; i++)
sum[i]=array_a[i]+array_b[i];

That should be
carry = carry + a[index] - '0' + b[index] - '0';
instead.

If b[index] equals (INT_MAX - 2)
and a[index] is greater than ('2'),
then
carry += a[index] - '0' + b[index] - '0';
is undefined.

That's inconsistent with the OP's specified output. Though he doesn't
say so, he seems to be treating the arrays as arrays of digits
representing large integer values; thus, looking at just the last two
digits, (3, 8) + (4, 3) yields (8, 1), not (7, 11).

That's an interesting non-equivalence! I would have chosen the more
pedestrian rewrite:
carry += (a[index]-'0') + (b[index]-'0');

The best thing you could do is to understand WHY it works and write you
own version. The code given has some subtle problems. One example: the
declaration of carry is compatible with C89, not C99, yet the comments
are supported in C99, not C89. The biggest problem, for me, is the
implied usage and restrictions of add. It works for this test program,
but how should it be used in general? A well-written problem requires
more than giving a correct answer for one test case.

Well, there's another step, which you do after you've done that.

The answer is totally dependant on what is in your arrays.

Are they strings of ascii characters? Arrays of integers?

If they are ascii character arrays then one way might be to just convert
them to doubles (atoi), add them and then sprintf them back into your
destination array.

The declaration of carry is:

static carry; // will be initialized to 0

C99 doesn't have implicit int. (It's horrid style even in C89.)

Because the declaration of carry uses implicit int. Sloppy.

I didn't even know that would work! Simply a typing mistake on my part. Or
something. My compiler didn't whimper., even a little bit, so I was unaware
of what I had typed.

This method doesn't scale as well as the other method, whose logical
conclusion is arbitrary-precision arithmetic.
