Inserting element at the end of an array in c without using vectors-CodePudding

I'm new to c so my current code might be completely wrong. I'm trying to get two inputs into two arrays I've declared two arrays of max size 10 and I want to use the console input and add it to the end of each array.

#include <iostream>

int main() {
   
char playerName[10];
char playerScore[10];
char name, score;

cout << "Enter the player name:";
cin >> name;
cout << "Enter the player score"
cin >> score;

for (i=0; i<10, i  )
{   
   // add name at the end of playerName
   // add score at the end of playerScore

}

return 0;
}

First off, use string not char if you want multiple characters. You also need to initialize i first.

Then you can add inputs at the end of your array like this;

int main() {
   
string playerName[10];
int playerScore[10];

    for (int i=0; i<10; i  )
    {   
        cout << "Enter the player name: ";
        cin >> playerName[i];
        cout << "Enter the player score: ";
        cin >> playerScore[i];
    }
}

1- you must use using namespace std; after #include <iostream>
2- you must use ; at the end of cout << "Enter the player score"
3- you must specify the type of i when you use for loop and use ; between each part -> for (int i = 0; i < 10; i ) and for fill the character array use -> cin >> playerName; and cin >> playerScore;

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {

    char playerName[10];
    char playerScore[10];
    char name, score;

    cout << "Enter the player name: ";
    cin >> playerName;
    cout << "Enter the player score: ";
    cin >> playerScore;

    cout << playerName <<'\n';
    cout << playerScore << endl;

    return 0;
}

But it is better to use a string

If you want to use character arrays, they should be 2d arrays, such as char playername [10][10].

Maximum name of 10 characters.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    
    char playerName[10][10];
    int playerScore[10];
    for (int i=0; i<10; i  )
    {
        cout << "Enter the "<<i 1<<"th "<< "player's name:";
        cin >> playerName[i];
        cout << "Enter the " <<i 1<<"th "<< "player's score:";
        cin >>playerScore[i];
        cout << "_________________________________________\n";
    }
    return 0;
}
