C for loop through array with pointers
c, for-loop, loops, pointers
Solution
Your test should be `*p_string != '\0';`
`p_string` is a pointer, and your loop is checking if the pointer is `!= '\0'`. You're interested in if the value is `!= '\0'`, and to get the value out of a pointer you have to dereference it with `*`.
Problem
I'm new to C but I have experience in Java and Android. I have a problem in my for loop. It will never end and just go on and on. ``` char entered_string[50]; char *p_string = NULL; gets( entered_string ); for( p_string = entered_string; p_string != '\0'; p_string++ ){ //.... } ``` I know that gets is unsafe, not recommended and deprecated but according to my specs I have to use it. I want to loop through each element by using pointers.
